About Granby Marketing
Going above and beyond is what made us who we are today – the award-winning fulfilment partner to some of the most well-known household brands and public sector organisations. From meerkats to census kits, we’ve done it all.
Our story
We took on our first client at Granby Row in Manchester in 1959 and initially made our name with promotional marketing. Our brand partners have always trusted us enough to ask for more. We’ve helped them push further and harder and higher, and in the process expanded our specialisms to include contract packing and 3PL, plus everything that flows between.
As a result, we’ve grown into one of the few genuine full service, end-to-end 4PL fulfilment providers in the world – and a trusted partner who puts your brand integrity at the forefront of everything we do.
In 2022, Granby became an employee owned business, cementing our commitment to being a people-focused business fully engaged with our clients’ success. Employee owned businesses can be characterised as sustainable, competitive, innovative and profitable, which sums us up perfectly.
How we think
Granby’s philosophy is to do our best for your brand with each and every project. We align and integrate ourselves to your brand and become part of your team.
Think of us as part of your extended team, a skilled core of fulfilment specialists completely focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for your project.
With this enhanced relationship, we can be dynamic, flexible and responsive to the needs of your business and expectations of your customers; your business is our business, and your customers are our customers too.
At the same time, with more than 60 years of experience under our belt, it’s second nature for us to always be looking ahead and planning for your future needs. Our sectors are fast-moving: customer expectations, technology and the practicalities of fulfilment logistics are evolving all the time and we want you at its leading edge.
- We invest in the skills and wellbeing of our workforce, so efficiency and quality are always on point.
- We develop technology as a robust framework supporting timescales, budgets and risk management as well as business intelligence and customer data.
- We spot trends and share our insights and ideas with our clients.
- We do everything within our power to help brands connect – and keep connecting – with their customers.
Ultimately, we’re more than a marketing logistics partner; we’re your brand ambassadors, working with you to ensure you deliver a customer experience to be proud of. This philosophy has helped us maintain long-standing relationships with some of the UK’s leading brands, with outstanding results.
SCOPe
As a Granby brand, you’ll have your own portal into our project management system, SCOPe. We’ve developed SCOPe ourselves over two decades and invest heavily in its evolution, according to our clients’ needs. True to the Granby ethos, it is incredibly flexible and can be adapted to meet the needs of our brand partners while providing a robust project framework that focuses on delivery and efficiencies.
OrderSure
OrderSure is a browser for your inventory, an easy-access portal that gives you visibility of your available stock. It’s packed with features that makes ordering stock so much easier. You can view and print data at the click of a button, and navigate through all your products using ‘smart search’ and category assignment. And, of course, we’re on hand with online chat and live-support to help if you need it.
SwiftReceipt
Another of our bespoke technologies is our redemption tool, SwiftReceipt. Powered by AI, Swift Receipt takes less than 20 seconds for customer data to be captured and proof of purchase to be validated. It’s the perfect technology for promotional marketing projects and loyalty programmes – efficient, accurate and GDPR compliant.
Granby resources
Our staff are at the heart of the business and its success. We recruit our own bank of workers through a careful selection, vetting and training process. We don’t have a need for temping agencies to build our teams, it’s already in hand. Granby’s workers become skilled across all our brand partners to keep our workforce flexible and, under the guidance of dedicated brand team leaders, remain sensitive to your particular requirements.
Granby Academy
An empowered workforce helps us to deliver the best possible service for our clients, which is why we set up the Granby Academy. The academy supports our employees in their quest for personal and professional development. It gives individuals who are ambitious the opportunity to gain further qualifications. We offer a wide range of learning opportunities from GCSEs and apprenticeships to professional body qualifications.
We are members of the following organisations:
