Agency in action: a case study

Every aspect of the purpose-built grs logistics centre at Cold Meece has been planned with military precision, from the ‘flow’ of vehicles through the site to the development of bespoke technology and systems that help to automate the process, making it as quick and efficient as possible.
One major company benefiting from this market-leading combination of market-leading efficiency and expertise is de-fleeting some 300 vehicles every month through the site. With speed crucial in helping to drive as much value as possible from each vehicle and ultimately maximise returns, grs aims to have completed the entire process within just five working days – from the vehicles’ arrival on-site, through inspection and refurbishment to imaging and readiness for sale.
Following inspection, grs undertakes refurbishment on a fixed price basis, and also takes care of all the back-office work; this includes completing all the contractual and financial paperwork which ensures each vehicle can be sold.
“We prepare the vehicles for sale not only from a visual perspective but also from the contractual point of view,” explained Danny Hartshorne, grs Sales Director. “A lot of activity takes place behind the scenes, which takes all the hassle off the vendor’s plate. We work quickly but thoroughly on their behalf to ensure their vehicles are de-fleeted and made ready for sale as soon as possible.”
Yet the advantages of working with grs go further still: “We have an extremely efficient operation which couldn’t be achieved without our great team of people and also the substantial investment we have made in Cold Meece,” continues Danny. “We are also a relationship business, so we make a point of getting to know our customers communicating with them in the way that suits them best. Every aspect of our service is tailored to their precise needs.”
