Location services and logistics support company Supply 2 Location has opened more regional hubs including their second Scottish depot, and has confirmed plans to launch a new division specifically to assist inward investment projects. 
 

In June 2022, following a management buy-out, the directors consolidated the company’s network of four regional distribution centres in London, the south-east, Wales and Scotland. 
 

James Williams, the group’s CEO, (pictured, below left) issued a trading statement this week to give the industry an update and some insight into their vision for the future.
 

“I’m delighted to announce that, in line with our initial plans, since June last year we have added three new regional distribution centres to our existing network bringing the total to seven. These new locations have been negotiated by our regional director, Ian Pearce, who established our first Scottish depot. 

“Our new Birmingham depot covers the West Midlands and the central belt, our new Northern hub is in Merseyside and Ian has just finalised negotiations for our second Scottish ‘yard’ within the Pioneer Film Studios complex (pictured, above right). 
 

“Together, these strategically located hubs give us a highly efficient integrated service capability through a UK-wide hub and spoke distribution network. What is particularly pleasing is that our hubs are all part of the existing film production community infrastructure.
 

Williams also outlined the plan for a new branch of the company that will specifically deal with inward investment projects, the ballast behind UK production spend. 
 

“Over the next year, the group’s revenues will further benefit from our decision to launch a new division – S2L Productions Ltd – which provides a turn-key operation focussing on overseas’ inbound productions from development to distribution. We have recently completed our first project for a major European Netflix production, for which S2L Productions provided location and initial production services.”
