Geared for growth

Dickies supplies coveralls, work shirts, trousers, jackets, bodywarmers, foul weather protection high vis garments and a range of safety footwear and distributes some two million products to 4000 outlets throughout the UK and Ireland, with expansion underway into Europe and the Middle East. To meet demand at its 10,000ft2 distribution centre in Somerset, it has adopted a Very Narrow Aisle system that condenses racking to accommodate increased stock levels, while speeding up both the storage process and customer order selection.

Introduction of the VNA system comes just as Dickies has been awarded Dun & Bradstreet's Rating 1 status.
