Jobs boost as PC game firm's Telford warehouse is expanded
PC games and IT distributor Entatech today announced the opening of a new warehouse expansion at its Telford headquarters.
The firm has taken on 10 staff to man the operation on the Hortonwood Industrial estate, work on which began last year and which comes as part of a £1 million investment in the operation.
The added space gives the distributor an extra 3,000 pallet spaces, and is the first extension Entatech has made to the warehouse since 1997.
Entatech director Jon Atherton said: "We're extremely pleased to have the new section of our warehouse up and running.
"As part of our ongoing growth plans, we're securing agreements with more vendors every year, therefore greatly increasing our product portfolio.
"With more pallet spaces we will not only be able to allocate for these products, but will also be able to run a more efficient warehouse, increasing the customer service we provide. We've taken on more warehouse staff over the past few months and I'm confident this will become a fruitful investment for Entatech in the long run."
Warehouse manager Richard Morris added: "Over the past two years we have doubled the amount of online orders we receive on a daily basis.
"This growth reflects just how much we needed the additional space for storing and picking the extra products." Entatech distributes 9,500 products from 75 vendors.
The expansion will allow Entatech to continue adding to its product line. The firm launched a southern office in Leatherhead in June.
