GREY Techology - GTECH - which designs and sells lightweight, cordless products, has appointed the company to handle its logistics operations.

Growing demand for GTECH's vacuum cleaners, household and garden care products over recent months has brought with it storage and distribution challenges its previous supplier was unable to meet.

Whitefoot-Forward, in partnership with Droitwich-based haulage firm, Tooles Transport, is providing a one-stop operation.

The Hartlebury business will take delivery of GTECH container shipments, unload and put them on pallets, check the stock, store the products and produce weekly reports.

In all, Whitefoot-Forward will handle up to 1,200 pallets, with 40 dispatches a week direct to trade buyers and online customers.

The company's managing director, Michael Whitefoot, said: "We are always on the lookout for new business in the logistics arena. The appointment of GTECH endorses our commitment to providing this type of service."

David Matthews, managing director of GTECH, said: "We selected Whitefoot-Forward as our new warehouse and logistics company due to the efficient, cost-effective and most helpful way the business is conducted.

"The warehouse facilities are excellent, they are vast, dry and very secure."
