SCA Timber Supply has made operational efficiencies at its national distribution centre with a view to growing its DIY sector business 15% by 2013.

Neil Emsley, SCA’s operations director at Stoke, said 12% more space in its bulk warehouse had been gained since the efficiency project started.

The improvement was made possible through changes to aisle arrangement, which has boosted the flow and volume throughput of products.

“Whatever the level of public sector cuts, here in private industry it’s efficiency that drives business forward,” added SCA Timber Supply managing director Rob Simpson.
