Import Services has developed a strong history of partnering with Global sports brands to enhance and support their retail supply chains.
Central to this is the port-centric logistics model, where our clients (and their customers) benefit from the time and cost savings attributed to our warehouses being located within the Southampton Container Port. Giving them the competitive edge!
The sports and leisure market is vast and product types coming through Southampton Container Port include footwear, apparel and even extreme sports gear, however one area Import Services has become proficient in, is Golfing equipment. Clients such as Srixon and Benross are able to transport their stock to major and multiple retailers in the UK and Continental Europe, taking advantage of the deferred VAT and Duty along the way, because of Import Services bonded warehouses.
Innovative golf manufacturer Benross, prides itself on combining design with exceptional value to improve the performance of both professional and amateur golfers.
“Crucial to our business is bringing the right equipment, in the correct quantities, to the UK and Europe. Dynamic external factors which determine the levels of product we bring to retailers also impacts greatly so we must be capable of moving swiftly,” said Benross Europe CEO, Jon Everitt. “This involves delicate balance and flexible logistics services.”
“Teaming up with Import Services and benefiting from its port-centric approach to distribution this year, enables us to react at speed to market demand and in a manner which has challenged Benross in the past.”
Client Services Director at Import Services, Mike Thomas added, “We work closely with Benross to improve processes and deliver the efficient operation it needs to expand across Europe.’’
“Our great team, web-enabled systems and port-centric facilities are now enhancing Benross with premium retail distribution services; an essential part of competing in the European golf market,’’ said Mike.
