Cocktails firm extends 3PL contract
FUNKIN Cocktails has extended its relationship with Europa Worldwide Group.
FOLLOWING AN initial contract with Europa Worldwide Group in 2015, Europa Warehouse continues to deliver pick, pack, warehousing and transport services to FUNKIN, on a contract now worth over £1m.
On an ‘average’ week just under 48,000 cases are despatched from Europa Birmingham to FUNKIN’s wide range of customers across both the On and Off Trade. This is up from 41,500 case per week in 2021 as the business continues growth of just over 15% year on year.
FUNKIN operations manager Simon Barnes, says: “It’s the people at Europa who really make a difference to our business proposition. The team there show a real willingness to help and support us as we look to meet the ever-changing demands of the marketplace in the coming years.
“The introduction of a team leader on our account has helped us to take a big step forward in creating a more efficient operation. More recently, perpetual inventory checks from the stock team have also been a real success in minimising picking errors overall.
“At FUNKIN, we see this relationship going from strength to strength, because under the current management there is the right attitude of cooperation and understanding, and just as importantly a desire to make continuous improvements to the service provided.”
As well as managing outbound goods, Europa looks after returns in the contract.
