Improving efficiency with a night shift management team.

With the introduction of the 24/7 shift pattern at Marchington, we understood the importance of continuing to offer a high level of service from our BRC approved wash plant. Our night shift managers work a 4 on 4 off shift pattern linking with the supervisors and warehouse team to maximise production, cleanliness and hygiene standards. Having a structured night team in place aids continued efficiency from the day shift team when liaising with transport companies and logging consignments on Enable.

Factory Tour In Pictures- The Office

It’s not every day that you get to design your own office, but here at PPS we embraced the opportunity. Here is a little insight to what life is like in our office.

 When you walk into reception you are greeted with a range of art work along with brochures on display to provide details of our returnable packaging services. You will also find our BRC certificate in storage and distribution on show.


The office is based on an open plan design so all departments can work hand in hand yet still have their own productive space.



 Sales and Marketing are the first port of call at the top of the office being available to meet and greet visitors.







The office then follows down to Operations who have members in both the open plan space and the transport office. 







From there they run a drivers reception where all delivery and collections are logged.









Finance have a private section of the office due to the confidential information dealt with.





From here you come to the conference room which holds internal and external meetings. The artwork on display demonstrates our warehouse facilities showing an operational wash machine and loading bay.






Throw back to life 
during the build.
