More2 Direct Commerce Awards 2022 – Granby shortlisted

We’re pleased to announce that Granby has been shortlisted in the Fulfilment, Delivery & Logistics category of the More2 Direct Commerce Awards.

Granby is a member of the Direct Commerce Association (DCA), which encourages the sharing of best practice, insight and expertise between its members. Members include SMEs like Granby as well as larger organisations from across a wide range of retail and distribution businesses.

Our head of Client Services, Victoria Pittman, said: “This category celebrates the important role that first class 3PL services fulfil.

“Third party logistics touch every part of a business in many cases – packaging, despatch, returns, stock control, reporting. It adds value and supports growth by helping a business meet its customers’ expectations – and exceed them too.”

“Granby is one of the few providers of full service, end to end fulfilment. We’re both well-known and highly respected as the award-winning logistics partner to some of the most well-known household brands and public sector organisations.

“2021 was a busy year for us. We invested in new jobs, training, sustainable business practices that improve the entire supply chain, our technology and our warehousing.

“One of the 3PL projects we completed successfully was the Field Force Logistics successfully for the Office for National Statistics, as one of eight strategic partners for the Census 2021 project.”

The More2 Direct Commerce Awards

This is the DCA’s first live Annual Summit and Direct Commerce Awards event in three years. It will take place at the Millennium Hotel in London on Thursday 6th October 2022.

On its website, the DCA : “When you consider everything we have each been through these past few tumultuous years, the full impact of the pandemic, finding ways to work safely and effectively. The stock shortages, the hikes in freight charges, and now global inflation as we all bear the brunt of the Russian attacks on Ukraine.

“We’re still standing and we’re not about to abandon our opportunity to come together, share our experience, and pool our ideas – face to face – in the true spirit of DCA and its founding principles.”

Earlier this year, Granby’s finance team was ‘highly commended’ at the 2022 Finance Awards North West for demonstrating ‘excellence in the field’. This month (September), we attended an exclusive breakfast event with 99 other SMEs who made it to the Hot 100, compiled by Lancashire Business View. Granby made the list for the first time, taking a seat at Number 94.

In October, we’re also attending the UK Packaging Awards 2022, also taking place in London – we’ve been shortlisted for Co-Pack & Fulfilment Company of the Year, an award that, in the last three years, we’ve won twice and been highly commended.
