Young Forwarder Network
“Uniserve hosts Sam Godfrey and Mike Nuttall really looked after us and it was evident that they were both very proud of this facility. “After a well-detailed tour we visited the cold store for a few minutes – experiencing what -25 degrees feels like – leaving us cool and refreshed enough to climb the outside stairway to the top of the 40 m high warehouse for a spectacular view of the port. “The tour was concluded with a presentation by Mike, clearly demonstrating his passion for the site, a Q&A session, followed by some well-earned refreshments.” Brooke Jennings, chair of the YFN Anglia region, enthused: “It was a great morning with the BIFA YFN at the Uniserve FMDC; seeing the scale of this operation up close is immense, and very interesting to see the autonomous way of working.” Liz concluded: “This was the 106th YFN event and once again a fabulous opportunity to learn more about logistics. We would like to thank all those that attended and who help to support such events, with a special thank you to Uniserve for being such a fantastic host.”
YFN Anglia scales the heights
T he third YFN event in ten days saw a group of young forwarders take a tour of Uniserve’s Mega Distribution Centre (FMDC) in Felixstowe. Liz Sumner, BIFA host for the day, said: “Everyone agreed what a great opportunity it was to visit a facility of this scale; the FMDC is a massive 750,000 sq ft ambient and freezer distribution centre located just a quarter of a mile from Felixstowe port.
