Brewers Decorator Centres, the UK’s largest independent decorators’ merchant, acquired another business and were faced with an urgent logistical challenge: clearing six locations of stock in just three days. That’s when our team stepped in to help them, supporting a stress-free transition.

About Brewers

Brewers Decorator Centres is the UK’s largest independent decorators’ merchant, known for its extensive product range, customer service, and national presence.  When Brewers acquired another business, this meant that six additional locations across the UK needed to be vacated and cleared of stock immediately.

What challenges did Brewers face?

With six locations UK-wide requiring complete stock clearance, all to be completed within three days, they needed the support of a specialist team. The project had some challenges: the customer wanted to avoid operational disruption, prevent stock loss and also prevent any delays to the transition/integration process.

What solution did Express & Global provide?

They turned to Express & Global as we were able to offer them a rapid, carefully coordinated logistics operation with the following support:

· We supplied 14 articulated vehicles with tail lifts, plus additional trucks as needed.
· We meticulously scheduled and coordinated site collections with onsite contacts.
· We kept accurate pallet counts throughout the process.
· We provided secure storage for 270+ pallets at our Eastbourne depot site, giving Brewers critical breathing room to manage the transition easily and without a glitch.
