Blueleaf Care, the nationwide business helping care homes deliver better outcomes, has relocated its head office and Southern distribution hub and service delivery centre to a new, sustainable development in Crawley, West Sussex.
The new, larger premises has strengthened Blueleaf Care’s existing sustainable practice across the business and further improves the quality and timeliness of delivery for customers.
Blueleaf Care has taken a 65,000 sq ft of warehouse space at Arrow Point,Crawley, which is twice the size of its previous premises in nearby Horsham, giving the business space to grow and to increase its product lines and stock holding capacity.
The new facility has enable the business to deliver goods 365 days ofthe year, including bank holidays and extend cut-off time for customers to place new orders, minimising disruption to deliveries and providing a more seamless customer experience.
Importantly, Arrow Point is adjacent to the M23 – a vital transport link connecting the south to the M3 and M25 – helping to accelerate delivery times, shorten supply chains, and reduce delivery miles which in turn means lower emissions.
With the move to its new location Blueleaf Care is also reviewing its suppliers and partners and aims to support local businesses who prioritise sustainable practices within their own operations.
Nick Frogbrook, CEO of Blueleaf Care says sustainable growth is apriority for the business: “We need room to grow but we are also on a mission to reduce our environmental impact. The new location is good for our customers,and good for our people, while supporting our focus on sustainability which is central to the culture of our business. We’re delighted to begin the next chapter of Blueleaf Care’s journey in our new premises.”
Arrow Point has been built as a sustainable development with a BREEAM rating of ‘very good’ and an Energy Performance Certificate rating of A. It has PV solar panels for energy, energy reducing sensory LED lights, electric vehicle charging points, an excellent transport network, as well as cycle and pedestrian access. The fully fitted office space has been designed to support new ways of working in a modern workspace and a ‘Hub’ area which will allow staff to come together to collaborate and connect.
