We’re proud to announce our rebrand of our furniture and homeware storage and fulfilment entity under the new brand AP+.
AP+ specialises in end-to-end 3PL solutions for the furniture and homeware industries from our 300,000 sqft purpose-built facility in Manchester.
Over the last 18-months, we have been inundated by new and existing customers requesting storage space for container loads of flatpack furniture, mattresses, sofas and other large homeware items, tech products, and more, and the company’s growth escalated.
As the industry flourished, we acted and adapted to meet our customers’, urgent need for efficient and reliable end-to-end 3PL solutions including storage, picking, packing, distributing and returns management/reverse fulfilment to meet the fast turn-around times.
Catherine Byrom, business development director, said, “We quickly recognised that this was an opportunity for growth and took action investing in our facility’s infrastructure and software to ensure we could meet and exceed our industry’s needs for dependability, flexibility and efficiency. We also decided it was the perfect time for this area of the business to rebrand under a new name – AP+”.

We’ve invested in the latest cloud-based systems for order management (OMS), warehouse management (WMS) and carrier comparison providing real-time visibility and traceability of inventory, offline stock control and automated stock control integrating with 60 e-commerce shopping carts and marketplaces.
Our carrier management software automatically compares quotes from over 80 carriers to ensure the most suitable and cost-effective delivery method every time, whatever the product(s) or end destination.
Collectively these investments have streamlined the entire operation giving our customers peace of mind this function of their business is running seamlessly, even if you’re based on the other side of the world.
It has been a challenging time for the furniture industry combining Brexit and Covid-19 in close succession. Tim Aspey, our managing director, added, “We are extremely excited to be in the best position as AP+ to support furniture and homeware businesses of all sizes based across the world with our industry knowledge and our specialist 3PL, storage and fulfilment solutions.”
