Returnable transit packaging solutions (RTS) company PPS, based in the village of Marchington, provide services including supply, collection, washing and management of all types of returnable packaging, including plastic pallets, crates and containers.
“We moved to our base in Marchington in June 2014 because we needed larger premises,” said Joanne Moss, PPS managing director. “When we moved in, we had the space to expand because it was always our intention to grow. When we moved here it was too big for us but we had a five-year growth plan so thought it would be suitable. But now we have grown at such a rate that we are expanding within just two years.”
“We’ve out grown our offices already and we are looking to move into new, bigger offices on the estate in January,” said Lucy Allsebrook, business development manager.
PPS already operates 24/7, 363 days a year, and employs around 100 people, but it is looking to further build on its success in the coming 12 months. It is planning a £400,000 investment in new equipment and implementing staff development schemes, following the securing of new contracts to work with two of the largest food companies in the UK.
“We have made significant investment over the past 12 months in pallets, crates and new washing equipment because we need to be ready for anything,” continued Moss. “We will also be focusing on investing in staff training to help progress our people and grow the business even more.”
