Third-party logistics provider Rhenus Warehousing Solutions Lutterworth has launched its newest campaign, showcasing its people and their diversity, and how this makes the supplier so successful. Rhenus’s employees are proud of what they do and handle every product with care, providing clients with a personalised, high-quality service that sets Rhenus apart from the rest.

Retailers, especially those in the fashion and ecommerce sectors, can benefit from a unique approach to logistics and a personal customer-to-supplier relationship with Rhenus. With over 30 years of experience working with high-profile brands, Rhenus offers constant support to its clients, covering all aspects of supply chain management with a human-led approach.

Rhenus Warehousing Solutions Lutterworth offers a comprehensive range of warehousing and distribution services to support retail, wholesale and ecommerce customers. It is part of the international, family-owned Rhenus Group, which has 820 locations worldwide, 33,500 employees and an annual turnover of 5.4bn Euros.

With the support of its passionate colleagues, Rhenus builds long-term partnerships with its clients rather than offer a ‘paid-for service’.

To demonstrate this, the logistics specialist’s new ‘People Campaign’ celebrates its colleagues and the value they bring to its industry-leading services, which makes Rhenus different from other contract logistics providers.

To mark the launch of the campaign, Rhenus invited its employees from all sectors of the business to take part in a photo and video shoot, which illustrates a more human side of logistics, putting personality at the forefront of the campaign. Out of a high number of applicants from across all four warehouses, 12 were selected as models for the day, representing the diverse nature of employees within the business.

Both office and warehouse-based workers with a range of roles and responsibilities were photographed and videoed, from those working in warehouse operations and administration, to those in customer services and value-added services, human resources and site security.

Each employee was able to showcase their personality and love for their work and the role they play in the supply chain.

Kerry Delaney, Managing Director at Rhenus Warehousing Solutions Lutterworth, said:

“Our employees are our greatest asset. People at Rhenus take pride in what they do, and it shows in the service we provide to our customers. From our office team to warehouse team, everyone is highly talented, motivated, committed and passionate. They undertake their work and treat clients’ products with the utmost care, and it’s thanks to them we’ve gained so much success as a business.At Rhenus, it’s important to us to add a personal touch to logistics – an industry which is, more often than not, associated with machinery rather than people. Our USP is our team, it’s they who give us a competitive edge, and we’re so excited to be celebrating the talented individuals who work hard behind the scenes.

“Our personalised approach to delivering a high-quality service has allowed us to build a strong reputation as a leading provider of logistics and rapidly grow our business. Alongside years of experience and technical expertise, our team’s care and attention to detail ensures customers achieve the best service throughout the year.

“Here in Lutterworth we operate like a family business, and that is what sets us apart from other contract logistics providers.”

Rhenus Warehousing Solutions Lutterworth is home to a diverse and experienced workforce, with a vast range of employees from different nationalities, ages and gender backgrounds, who work together to deliver the best possible services to clients.

Kerry Delaney added:

“As a result of our amazing team and their exceptional commitment and dedication, the business has seen significant growth throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
