IPS are pleased to announce the move of thier UK Parts operation into a separate building. This move is the latest in IPS’s strategic expansion plans, allowing them to enter 2008 with 325 square metres (3,500 sq ft) of space dedicated to parts sales.
The new location, 200 metres down the road from the office in Telford, Shropshire will continue to stock and ship parts to all our UK and International customers. The advantage being that we have third more space to hold a larger stock of replacement parts for next day shipping.
Sander Mellaard, IPS’s Parts Manager explains ‘It became apparent early this year that if parts sales continued to increase as rapidly as it has done over the last few years, we would need to look at alternative resources, such as bigger premises, to deal with the demand. Having the additional stocking space will considerably aid our efforts in providing our customers with a higher level of service and support’.
This expansion comes just 18 months after IPS moved its operation to the current 1,900 square metres (20,000 sq ft) facility. The company’s Service division with its national network of engineers and service support team will continue to operate from the existing location, with the recently vacated parts space being given back to the dedicated repair and refurbishment workshop.
Operations Director, Kevin Shadbolt says ‘We are delighted to be in a position to develop our parts division so quickly – we will now have the space to stock our ever increasing parts inventory, and the staff to continue to support our operation – with the aim to better our customer’s ordering experience’.
