Two renowned businesses from Suffolk – a freight company and an electrical cable distributor - are celebrating 20 years of working together which has seen the relationship go for gold.
Two renowned businesses from Suffolk – a freight company and an electrical cable distributor - are celebrating 20 years of working together which has seen the relationship go for gold.
Family-owned Bartrums in Eye, a founder shareholder member of the Pallet-Track network, first started distributing goods for Goldwing Cable in Beccles in 2004 when Pallet-Track launched.
Such has been the success for both businesses that Bartrums now delivers more than double the number of palletised shipments for Goldwing Cable compared to just 10 years ago.
Central to the success of the close-working relationship is having full tracking on all pallets during the distribution process, as well as the rapport that has developed between personnel from both companies at all levels.
Steve Hines, warehouse manager at Goldwing Cable, said: “I work on a daily basis with the drivers from Bartrums and they are great.
“We do have certain demands, but they will always do anything to help us, such as drivers are more than happy to wait past their collection time.”
Goldwing Cable distributes its electrical cables for the industrial, commercial and transportation sectors all over the UK and Europe, including direct to site.
Speed of delivery is often a key criteria for Goldwing Cable, a factor that Bartrums has vast experience accommodating, as well as providing the latest fleet with GPS tracking and fully integrated Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems.
Robert Bartrum, managing director at The Bartrum Group, which was established over 90 years ago, said: “We deliver palletised orders for Goldwing Cable on a daily basis and they are a customer you would love to have.
“Over 20 years, we’ve come to know each other very well and I believe we provide the same high-level of service today as we did when we first won their business in 2004.
“It’s also great to see two businesses from Suffolk fly the flag for East Anglia and I look forward to working with Goldwing Cables for at least another 20 years to come.”
