Potter Group adds new timber distribution contract to IDS portfolio
The Potter Group’s South East rail-connected centre in Ely has been awarded a new imported timber distribution contract by International Decorative Surfaces (IDS). The agreement includes unloading containers of imported high quality timber products, storage and distribution on Potter Group transport to IDS’s regional distribution centres. The Potter Group expects to be storing around 2,500 pallets and to be handling around five to eight container loads weekly.The new contract reflects a strong and successful relationship between the Group, IDS and its predecessors, which goes back to 1993. The Ely Centre currently provides at least 50,000ft² of storage for IDS board and panel products and dedicated office space for IDS sales staff, and the new assignment is a natural progression in the companies’ long-term partnership.
Part of Saint Gobain’s Building Distribution Division, IDS is the UK's largest dedicated distributor of decorative surfacing materials including board and panels for worktops, flooring and decorative panel products.
IDS’s Operations Director Chris Whitlock commented: ”We have worked so closely with The Potter Group in Ely for so long that they are almost part of the IDS operation. They understand just what we need and are ready to respond to make sure we keep our delivery commitments. It’s reassuring to know that with the new agreement, we can continue to benefit from this relationship for the years ahead.”
