E-commerce prep and logistics company moves into new Ilkeston HQ

Craner & Kirkman, the growing e-commerce prep and logistics company, has moved into a new headquarters at Soloman Park, Ilkeston.

The move marks a major milestone for the business, which has grown to over £500,000 in turnover in less than three years under the leadership of founder Tom Singleton.

Singleton, a former account director at Inspired Thinking Group (ITG) in Birmingham, left agency life after a decade to launch Craner & Kirkman. Originally started as a side hustle, the business now supports sellers across Amazon, Etsy, TikTok Shop, eBay, and Shopify.

The new facility at Soloman Park more than doubles the company’s operational space and allows Craner & Kirkman to meet growing demand from UK and EU-based sellers.

“We’ve built this business from the ground up — no outside funding, just good service and word of mouth,” said Singleton. “Moving into our new HQ gives us room to grow, but it also lets us keep raising the bar for e-commerce logistics.”
