EnvironmentIncreasing pressure on return-on-investment and capital expenditure demands flexibility in how projects are sourced. Whilst there will always be a need for UK manufacture, Redlake Group now blends this with raw materials and products sourced from overseas. Having developed partnerships with global supply bases we have the option to source internationally where volume and lead times allow.
Examples
1. Our client, a leading fashion and homewares retailer, focuses on selling merchandise at below High Street prices. The store investment strategy targets the capital cost base to enable savings to be passed on to the consumer. Our commitment is to identify the most cost-effective method of achieving their store development programme. This involves installing a blend of UK- and overseas-sourced manufactured product, achieved through detailed planning, dedicated warehousing and complex logistical arrangements.
2. Continued investment in our global sourcing capability has been advantageous in our supply of standard equipment to a major high street multiple retailer. Our client retails a variety of product categories including clothing, homewares, footwear and cosmetics, leading to a requirement for a large volume of generic store fixtures. This presents an ideal opportunity to source high volume product from lower cost economies.
