More than 30 companies have attended the James Latham Group plc’s first supplier day at its newly refurbished Wigston site, Leicester.

Key suppliers such as Kronospan, which supplies Lathams with its Kolorband range, and Weyerhaeuser, which provides Medite MDF, had a chance to see the site’s new racking and distribution operation plus meet the timber and panel products sales team.

Lathams has invested £250,000 at Wigston, including three Combi trucks which act as both side and front loaders, allowing staff to move stock around easily and quickly.
