Three-Day Fulfilment Target for 650,000 Christmas Trees
14th December 2017
Eddie Stobart says it is helping Needlefresh, the largest Christmas tree company in the UK, to deliver around 650,000 Christmas trees this festive season – over 95 percent of all Christmas trees grown in the UK.
When it comes to delivery times, Needlefresh adheres to a strict fulfilment target of no-more-than three days. To meet this challenge head on, Eddie Stobart is providing Needlefresh with 800 vehicles this year – driving around 284,000 miles in the process.
“Our aim is to ensure that our Christmas trees are delivered to our customers just as fresh as when they were first cut,” said Christopher Hood, MD at Needlefresh. “We use a bespoke software programme that’s linked with Eddie Stobart’s office in Carlisle, as well as the offices of all of our tree growers, to make sure the harvest, packing, transport and delivery is absolutely seamless.”
