Eight out of ten ops managers prefer Atlet*
October 27th 2009 Pedigree Wholesale has switched to Atlet warehouse trucks in a combination of contract hire and outright purchase at its main distribution centre near Nottingham. By aligning the make-up of the fleet to its precise materials handling requirements, the pet and aquatic products supplier has reduced the number of trucks required, increased efficiency and cut downtime as well as saving on its previous repair and maintenance bill.
“If you’re offering a service you have to invest in the equipment to deliver that service,” says Darren Willetts, Group Operations Manager at Pedigree Wholesale Midlands. “You pay a bit more for Atlet up front but it’s what you get for the money that matters.
“Downtime is non-existent and the first breakdown happened when the truck had been here for 18 months. We never need to contact Atlet because they call me when they need to come. The engineer is only four miles away.”
