Logistics Powering Growth in Britain’s Booming Pet Industry
28th August 2024
Britain’s deep affection for animals is powering remarkable growth in the pet services industry, with businesses expanding their reach and influence. Kammac, a prominent UK logistics and supply chain provider, is leveraging this trend by securing new contracts that enhance cross-promotional opportunities, efficiency, and service delivery for clients in the pet sector.
One notable partnership is with Perky Tails, a UK-based manufacturer of dog toys and accessories. In May this year, Perky Tails selected Kammac as their storage and fulfilment provider, enabling them to scale their operations and improve customer service. David Primrose, Director at Perky Tails, praised the collaboration, stating, “Since partnering with Kammac just over two months ago, our operations have been nothing short of fantastic… communication, responsiveness, and advanced technology solutions have been instrumental in supporting our integration with new marketplaces. They have truly added value to our operations, and I look forward to further strengthening our relationship.”
Kammac’s Wavertree 170 site plays a pivotal role in their expansion, serving as a hub for storing, distributing, and fulfilling a wide range of pet products. Additionally, their headquarters in Skelmersdale has become a crucial location for new clients, providing a combined transportation hub and warehouse to meet all storage and distribution needs.
This growth aligns with the booming pet industry in the UK, currently valued at around £182 billion. With 57% of UK households owning a pet and major retailers like Amazon reporting significant increases in pet food sales, the demand for efficient logistics solutions in the pet sector is on the rise. Ged Carabini, Chief Executive Officer at Kammac, emphasized, “With years of experience in the pet industry, we really understand what pet brands need. From storing pet foods to getting them to store and handling e-commerce orders, we cover all of it for our clients.” He further added, “As the demand for logistics in the pet sector keeps growing, we’re committed to providing tailored supply chain solutions. Our team is dedicated to offering exceptional service and creative solutions to meet the changing needs of our clients in this exciting market.”
