In addition to Uniserve’s existing services for the retail industry, this venture will allow both partners to collaboratively provide enhanced retail services such as global supply chain management from factory to consumer; e-fulfilment operations including pick and pack, Returns and Rework; online retail end of line solutions through our own channels; as well as international online sales and support.
Uniserve Group Managing Director, Iain Liddell, commented: “This venture is a great addition to Uniserve and will complement the online services we are providing to our retail and e-commerce customers. For many years Uniserve have recognised the need to offer more than just moving freight from A to B, we have always looked for innovative solutions that positively impact the whole supply chain and SKU have the same values”.
SKU Managing Director, Tim Wait, added: “We are very excited to have joined the UK’s leading independent logistics and trade management Group. It was important for us to align with a forward thinking and technologically advanced partner, the range of supply chain and logistics services we are now able to promote is second to none”.
