Logistics firm links with national network to transport hazardous products around Europe

May 21st, 2019 Martin Walker Business 0 comments 1679

Newton Aycliffe logistics firm Stiller Warehousing and Distribution can now transport hazardous products around the UK and Europe after teaming up with an established national network.

Family-run Stiller has joined the Hazchem Network, which has 60 members around the UK, Ireland and in 28 European countries.

Hazchem is similar to a standard pallet and parcel network but specialises in the movement of hazardous packaged goods, liquids or difficult-to-handle products.

Stiller has signed up to its membership and expects the deal to be worth at least £500,000 a year initially, while the Aycliffe firm hopes to employ three-to-five new drivers.

The firm is also hoping to tap into the strong chemicals and coatings sector on Teesside.

Commercial manager Lizzie Brophy – pictured above (left) with Stiller distribution trunking and warehouse manager Darren Holliday with Hazchem network director Nada Marinovic – said: “This is a big deal for us which will expand our capabilities and offering to existing and new customers.

“We hope it will open up new business opportunities for us, particularly in the Wilton and Haverton Hill areas of Teesside. There are quite a few reputable coatings businesses that we would seek to support with this new service.

“It will create between three and five new driving jobs and we’ve also spent more than 200 hours on training for staff, while we’ve also employed a new health, safety and security manager to help support the complex requirements that being a Hazchem member will involve.”

Hazchem recently moved to a new 10-acre site at the former Triumph motorcycle factory in Hinckley, Leicestershire, to cope with demand after enjoying 27% year-on-year growth.

The network system currently handles 1,800 pallets a night and around 500 packages or parcels.

Its impressive membership customer base includes universal names such as Univar, Brenntag, BOC, PPG, International Paints, Cleanol and Tetrosyl.

Network director Nada Marinovic said: “We’re very proud to be associated with Stiller.

“Our intention is to continue to expand the business and to bring on board more companies that have the pedigree and ethos that Stiller bring with them.”

Stiller last year opened a new £2m freight distribution centre at its 22-acre site in the heart of Aycliffe Business Park and also converted its former logistics centre into a new 50,000 sq ft warehousing to accommodate 6,000 pallets, taking the company’s total investment in property, facilities and people to £11m in the last four years.

The firm spent £1.1m in a brand new 40,000 sq ft warehouse building in 2015, and in 2017 added another 40,000 sq ft extension to it, with both units creating storage space for more than 10,000 pallets.

And just months after spending £1.7m on a fleet of new trucks, this latest development will increase Stiller’s capacity further still, and takes the firm’s total investment in property, facilities and people to £11m in the last four years.

At the end of 2018, Stiller revealed it had invested £1.7m in new vehicles to keep their truckers motoring millions of miles around the country, refreshing its fleet of 45 trucks with 20 new Mercedes Across tractor units.

Earlier the firm completed work on a £2m 40,000 sq ft palletised distribution centre, which improved its vehicle loading times.

Stiller has seen sales rise by more than 20% to £14.8m, while staff numbers have jumped from 149 to 174 in the last 12 months.

Formed in 1954, Stiller provides cost-effective warehousing and distribution services to businesses in the North-East region as well as commercial property lettings and is also a member and major shareholder in Palletline, a national co-operative network of 70 companies specialising in overnight palletised freight distribution.
