Universal Components head office and distribution centre opens soon

Universal Components are progressing in their move to their new purpose built distribution centre based in Barnsley, located off the Dearne Valley Parkway and junction 36 of the M1.

UC is starting to relocate all of its operations into the new facility and will be regularly updating you on their progress. UC wanted to tell you of the coming plans in place to move their staff, stock and finally exit their current head office by the end of the year with MINIMAL disruption to all their customers.

Staff Move - You haven't noticed it yet, but communications are now in place and they have full coverage over all sites with some departments already working from the new offices. This will continue with no changes to any of your current contacts, email or telephone numbers and most staff will be in the new facility by Monday 18th July. The operational team will continue working between all  current sites and will migrate with the stock and where the day to day operations are needed.

Stock Move - In two stages, the first will see the move of our Provincial Park Site (S35 9ZX) which will commence 11th July with a planned completion late August or very early September. The second stage will be to move their current Head Office site in Attercliffe (S9 3WZ) between September and December in order to fully vacate the two locations and consolidate all operations into the one new site.

Plans are being made to reduce the time you may need to collect from all three sites at least until the Provincial Park Site is fully relocated. UC is working on moving stocks through the night and minimising operational stock moves through peak times keeping stock available at all times in order to keep you serviced throughout this transition.
