Expect Distribution Achieves BRCGS Accreditation Across Two Key Sites for 2025

Expect Distribution is proud to announce that both our Thornton Road and Woodlands sites have achieved BRCGS Accreditation for 2025, further strengthening our commitment to excellence, quality, and compliance across our warehousing and logistics operations.

This industry-recognised certification demonstrates the high standards we maintain throughout our facilities, ensuring every process meets the globally benchmarked requirements for product safety, quality, and operational control.

Woodlands Site – Reaccredited for 2025

Our Woodlands facility successfully earned its BRCGS reaccreditation earlier this year, continuing its record of excellence. As the second largest and most established of our Bradford sites, Woodlands plays a central role in supporting our contract logistics and warehousing operations for clients across multiple sectors, including FMCG, pharmaceutical, retail, and manufacturing.

This reaccreditation reinforces the site’s reputation for maintaining exceptional standards in stock management, product traceability, and health and safety compliance.

Thornton Road – Achieving Accreditation for the First Time

In a major milestone for the business, our Thornton Road site achieved BRCGS Accreditation for the first time last month, following months of dedicated preparation, process improvement, and collaboration across teams.

This achievement demonstrates not only the site’s growth but also our consistent group-wide approach to operational excellence, ensuring the same level of quality and compliance across every Expect Distribution facility.

A Commitment to Quality and Continuous Improvement

At Expect Distribution, quality isn’t just a standard, it’s part of our culture. BRCGS certification is a testament to our teams’  hard work, attention to detail, and ongoing drive to deliver the very best for our customers.

Our BRCGS-accredited sites now provide clients with enhanced confidence in areas such as:

• Product integrity and safety
• Traceability throughout the supply chain
• Consistent quality management systems
• Compliance with the highest industry standards

Commercial Director Bob Duffy commented:

“Achieving and maintaining BRCGS accreditation across multiple sites is a reflection of the dedication, teamwork, and professionalism of our warehouse teams. It reinforces our position as a trusted logistics partner that operates to the very highest standards.”
