Case Study - Dedicated Retail Delivery - Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams is an established manufacturer of bed and mattresses as well as dining and upholstered furniture.

While Sweet Dreams retains control of liaison with retailers and customers, since 2006 Andrew Porter Limited has been providing an ex-factory gate delivery service to retailers across the country. This provides a cost-effective delivery solution to Sweet Dreams, avoiding the fixed overheads of warehousing, vehicles and drivers and allowing for the seasonality of the furniture retail trade.

Andrew Porter Limited carries out between 300 and 400 deliveries per week from Sweet Dreams' factory in Burnley to more than 100 retailers across the UK.

Manufacturing manager at Sweet Dreams, Majid Ahmed, commented: "We are happy with the service we get from Andrew Porter Limited and most importantly any problems, which inevitably can arise, have been sorted out rapidly and in a professional manner."
