IPP utilises its ‘One Way Trip’ solution which streamlines the process by collecting the empty pallets from Swizzels’ end customers including all of the major multiple retailers cash and carry businesses and smaller confectioners – repairing them, if necessary, and seamlessly reintroducing them into the cycle.
This process guarantees the constant flow and integrity of the pallets as the business builds up to its busy ‘Trick or Treat season where customer demand for Refreshers, Double Lollies, Fizzers, Fruity Pops, Drumsticks, Rainbow Drops, Love Hearts, Parma Violets and Double Dips, is at its peak.
Nigel Wanford Supply Chain Manager for Swizzels, said: “There are major plans for the New Mills site where our annual production is set to increase significantly over the next 12 months. IPP has worked with us step by step over the last seven years and we will be building our new model around the service that we currently operate together, albeit the volumes will increase in line with demand.
