Worldwide skincare specialist Molton Brown hires Global Freight Solutions

Luxury beauty expert Molton Brown has signed an exciting new deal with leading parcel management specialist Global Freight Solutions (GFS).

GFS is offering its high-quality service to skincare specialist Molton Brown, which has stores and stockists around the world. Molton Brown has praised GFS’ impressive knowledge and expertise in contingency planning.

GFS Director Simon Veale said: “We are delighted that such a popular and well-respected brand like Molton Brown has chosen to work with GFS. This new business shows how GFS is going from strength to strength. Like us, Molton Brown prides itself on providing high-quality and unique products and services which meets customers’ requirements. Whatever the size or speed requirement of the parcel or package, delivery will be organised for our customers which takes the worry and hassle away from them.”

Trevor Scott, Head of Production and Logistics at Molton Brown, said: “Having continuously struggled finding the right carrier to fit the needs of the business GFS provided us with the flexibility, expertise and understanding that there is not a 'one size fits all' solution with parcel carriers.

“Due to our complex distribution channels and high customer service levels we have worked closely with GFS to ensure all routes are serviced by the most appropriate parcel carriers.

“GFS has enabled us to have one integration with our 3PL (3rd Party Logistics), which allows us to trial or switch a carrier almost immediately. This means the business can focus on its core services without the introduction of company wide projects to integrate new carriers. Overall the introduction of GFS to our business has ensured contingency plans are always in place due to the flexibility and knowledge that they have within the parcel industry.”

Molton Brown will enjoy GFS’ elite technology which pro-actively tracks all parcels, keeping them fully informed of exactly where a package is at any given moment. Any problems are noted immediately so alternative arrangements can be organised, if necessary.

GFS works with the world’s best known delivery companies to provide tailored logistics solutions for leading names in the retail, manufacture and financial service industries. Almost 2.4 million parcels have been handled by the company in the past year alone.
