Cottonridge moves into larger warehouse

Owner of the Cottonridge brand, TGI Corporation, has moved into a new larger warehouse in Stafford.

The original warehouse was based in Stoke on Trent and was 30,000sq ft. The new warehouse is located on a secure security patrolled industrial park just 10 minutes from junction 14 of the M6 and is 50,000sq ft.

The company says that the larger premises has increased storage capacity up to 35,000 boxes of Cottonridge garments and the new wider isles have increased efficiency by over 20%.

TGI’s current stockholding is £3.2million over 20 styles. Printshops often think that, because Cottonridge is not distributed through the large supermarket style distributors that large stocks are not possible or there may be inconsistent stock levels when actually the opposite is the case.

Because Cottonridge only offers 20 styles, this means TGI can stock in depth and because TGI distributes direct as the brand owner customers benefit from not having to pay a premium to an intermediate distributor.

Once a printshop signs up on the Cottonridge website they can see the stock levels online and they are always pleasantly surprised.
