A whale of a time

On a sunny Tuesday morning with a clear motorway and the sites of Grimsby soon approaching, I knew I was heading for a fishy day. With the World Seafood Congress and our new warehouse open day imminent I was heading north to spend time with the team in preparation for events and develop my knowledge of our fish sector and the industry. 

The first stop on the trip was the Humber Royal for a breakfast meeting with the organisers of the World Seafood Congress. Only in Grimsby would you get a Kippolata at 9am! As Silver Sponsors of the congress it’s essential that we have an understanding of the programme and attendees for the three day conference. It was great to see how passionate locals are about welcoming the world to Grimsby and promoting everything the town has to offer.

On arrival at the current PPS East site it was clear to see our new, bigger warehouse which is only over the road. As with our move in the Midlands last year, increase in demand from customers moving to Returnable Transit Packaging and becoming more aware of the environment has enabled us to grow our facilities with modern premises and technology.  The hive of activity is apparent as soon as you enter the warehouse with a constant flow of equipment being received and dispatched from the dirty and clean doors. Did you know PPS East are also BRC approved?

The new warehouse is currently undergoing construction work to house the machine wash lines and office space. The scale of the new site will allow us to house separate units for dirty equipment, wash lines and clean kits. To coincide with WSC we are thrilled to announce the open event being held on Wednesday 9^th September between 15:00- 18:00.

PPS are an integral part of the seafood community and it was a great experience to meet all the team and develop an understanding of the industry in the build up to events. Lucy Allsebrook
