The UK’s leading timber and panel products distributor, James Latham, has signed a new three year agreement with the Port of Tilbury to continue its successful partnership and consolidated storage facility.

The Port of Tilbury offers a broad range of cargo handling operations with an excellent IPOS (Integrated Port Operating System) in position, to provide a real time stock management service that provides confirmation at the push of a button.

The large stock holding at Tilbury enables James Latham to continue providing both depots and customers with a quality, efficient service that ensures adequate stock availability and successfully meets the demands of customers.

Director, Chris Sutton, commented: "We have been very pleased with the progress over the last three years so it makes perfect sense to sign up for a further three. Working with the Port of Tilbury means that we can pass on efficiency benefits to customers, helping to provide them with an even better service. The consolidation of our imported stock range at Tilbury also enables us to offer some of our merchant and importer customers in the south, the opportunity to collect a wide range of products."

The Port of Tilbury provides a complete storage logistics solution, with sea, road and rail links backed up by top quality warehousing, consolidation, re-packing, stock control, distribution, just-in-time delivery, real-time information and total service packages.
