Press release -
Vital Pet Products says Exeter depot is benefiting from new investment
Following on from acquisition of Vital Pet Products by the Subura Group, the company has announced that the Exeter (North Tawton) depot is benefiting from new investment. Director Sunny Sharma says the company’s ultimate aim is to be much more than a wholesaler to the pet trade and the changes that have been made in the first few months have helped secure the future of the business.
Having been in business for 35 years Vital is a well-known name in the area and supplies pet shops, aquatic centres, kennels and catteries. As part of the streamlining process, a regional site in Salisbury has been consolidated with Exeter, making it Vital’s National Delivery Centre.
Improvements have been made to the infrastructure and operational processes to allow direct supply across a wider network of retailers. This means faster and more efficient processing of orders, especially for those previously served by other regional centres. New Operations Manager in Exeter, Des Corfield, will lead and champion operational excellence at Exeter, while regional teams will provide dedicated contact points and business support to customers in the area.
Sunny says that the company is looking to attract new talent, particularly drivers and in warehouse operations, “There will be opportunities within the new organisation and we appreciate that drivers in particular are an important contact point between the customer and our business. We’ll therefore be giving them the tools to deliver a first class service and special promotional offers that will allow them to earn bonuses. In the warehouse, there have been significant improvements already which make the depot a better place to work. By recruiting great people, we’ll make our business stronger and that’s good news for us and also for the local community.”
