Since June, AMCO has been hard at work managing the seasonal influx for Baylis & Harding. With up to 300 containers arriving from China, AMCO’s 25,000-pallet warehouse in Redditch, Worcestershire, is more like Santa’s workshop than ever. By the time Christmas comes around, AMCO will have handled enough pallets to stretch almost 4.5 miles – that’s a lot of holiday cheer!
STARTING CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS EARLY
While most of us start Christmas shopping in November, retailers, supermarkets, and logistics partners like AMCO kick off their festive preparations much earlier—usually around July or August.
The holiday rush begins as retailers anticipate increased demand and ramp up operations. Stock levels must rise to ensure availability, with some retailers needing three times their usual warehousing capacity. This is where AMCO steps in to ensure supply chain success, storing and distributing products to some of the UK’s biggest retailers, including ASDA, Boots, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, and Tesco.
SPREADING HOLIDAY CHEER ACROSS THE UK
AMCO plays a vital role in helping retail brands all over the UK shift into festive mode, making the holiday season truly special. As part of global supply chains, AMCO receives a vast range of imported goods into its bonded warehouse, with many shipments arriving from China by sea.
The journey doesn’t end at the docks. Once products arrive, AMCO efficiently stores and prepares them for swift distribution. Picture AMCO Park as Santa’s secret warehouse, storing all those holiday goodies until it’s time for AMCO’s fleet of trucks to deliver festive joy to store shelves.
THE LOGISTICS ELVES IN ACTION
Think of AMCO’s team as the logistics elves behind Christmas operations. They move thousands of pallets off containers, into storage, and then out for delivery. From now until the big day, AMCO works tirelessly, delivering directly to stores nationwide. This ensures shelves are filled with everything shoppers need for the perfect gift or stocking filler.
A TRUSTED PARTNER FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON
AMCO’s partnership with its retail customers is the backbone of a successful holiday season. Acting as a festive solutions partner, AMCO’s expertise in receiving, storing, and distributing products ensures retailers can keep up with the Christmas rush.
As the countdown to Christmas continues, AMCO flexes its logistics muscles, ensuring that products make their way into homes across the country—under trees and tucked into stockings. So, when you’re browsing for that perfect gift set this year, remember it’s not just Santa and his reindeer working hard. Behind the scenes, AMCO’s dedicated team ensures those gifts arrive just in time for Christmas morning, turning holiday wishes into reality!
