Chocolate entry into the UK market

Rhys Davies Freight Logistics has helped Barens Chocolate break into the British market by distributing its product throughout the UK from Rhys Davies’ warehouse. Barens Chocolate, based in Switzerland, decided to expand its market reach to tackle the UK market. Rhys Davies provides Barens with a full cycle service from customs clearance to distribution.

The chocolate is stored at its Haydock warehouse, giving Barens a British-based warehouse for its products, as well as distributing it to its UK-based customers using tail lift trucks, allowing Barens to offer overnight delivery across the UK. Ilya Medvedenko, director of Barens Eurotrade and responsible for the company’s development within the UK and EU market, explains, "as soon as we have an order Rhys Davies pack the products on to a lorry and distribute it to the customer’s warehouse. Our customers are large national and small regional wholesaler companies who then resell into the shops."
