To help serve a rising demand for e-commerce services in the central U.K. region, SEKO Logistics said it will expand services at its current fulfillment center in the town of Milton Keynes.
\nChicago-based SEKO Logistics, which has 120 locations in more than 40 countries, offers what it calls a \u201chybrid\u201d category of 3PL services, which bundles traditional order fulfillment with global transportation networks, said Paul Balsom, co-director of SEKO\u2019s U.K. Midlands region.
\nSEKO\u2019s fulfillment center in Milton Keynes will be supported by a team of air-, ocean- and roadfreight specialists, he said.\u00a0 The town has been one of SEKO\u2019s fastest-growing locations, since the company opened a 250,000-square-foot logistics center there in 2014. \u201cWe already have a fast-growing client base in and around Milton Keynes, as we do across the U.K.,\u201d said Keith O\u2019Brien, SEKO\u2019s group managing director. \u201cBut the pace with which new companies are coming into this region means we want to be here with our full package of services.\u201d
\nThe facility offers omni-channel services for global order fulfilment, delivery management, returns and e-commerce for several retail brands, including Beauty Pie, Knomo, East Clothing, Marks and Spencer, and Birchbox. SEKO also recently secured a logistics contract with British fashion brand Joules.
\n\u201cUnlike traditional freight forwarders, SEKO identified some years ago that our \u2018hybrid\u2019 model of fulfillment linked to transportation is the future,\u201d Balsom added. \u201cWe\u2019ve developed our own technology and logistics capabilities so we can support our customers with visibility of all transportation statuses upstream from the vendor, and downstream to final delivery to customers.\u201d
