Grass machinery distributor, Henton & Chattell, has expanded its warehousing space with the purchase of a substantial new unit near its head offices in Nottingham.
The family business was established in 1931, and now employs 85 people across the country, supplying the general public, golf, public authorities and 1,500 garden machinery dealers across the UK and Ireland. The new warehouse is set to create eight more jobs for the city and doubles the capacity of the current premises.
The increased space enables improved stock availability so that orders can be fulfilled quickly and efficiently, streamlining the overall logistics of the company, its deliveries and order fulfilment.
On the expansion, Peter Chaloner, Managing Director, said: “There are some really exciting times ahead for us all here at Henton & Chattell, not just with the new facility but also within the products we plan to bring to market in 2023.
“The acquisition of the new warehouse is a massive step in the company’s journey and, hopefully, it is one of many more to come. We always pride ourselves on our commitment to our dealers and the ambition we have to deliver the best possible service to support them and their businesses.
“With this new increased capacity, we’ll be able to provide an even greater level of support that will improve operations all round.”
