OFFICE TECH SERVICES PLANNING FOR SUCCESS

Office Tech Services are excited about the year ahead and equally positive about their Strategic partnership with the Chamber.

They have started 2022 with a lot of positive developments, the main one being the big push of their software arm and partnership with the world’s leading business process automation software which brings significant value to their customers.

MD Joe Carballo has been very busy meeting with many members of the Chamber and has found collaboration and partnership opportunities so please feel free to get in contact for a coffee breakfast or lunch meeting as they are aiming to connect with as many members as possible this year.

Their plan for success is to collaborate, focus on process automation for customers, support local in their own supply chain and focus on environmental and charity targets for the year.

RAPID GROWTH PRESENTS EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES FOR BDL

Britannia Dynamic Logistics Limited (BDL) core business is european transport, airfreight and international forwarding service. They operate a brokerage system drawing from an extensive, well trusted and performance monitored supply base, some of whom work on an exclusive basis with BDL.

They started trading on 1 November 2020 at the height of the pandemic with a modest business plan with the owners working remotely from home. Hard work, excellent contacts and a very high level of service has seen original targets exceeded threefold and the current monthly turnover sees BDL achieving £5 million this year. Staff numbers are now 7 plus 2 part-time and 2 new KickStart opportunities are in the pipeline for roles that need to be filled.

The Directors have well over 100 years of Logistics and Freight Forwarding experience, two of whom have worked for manufacturers and can offer impartial advice and help on such matters as Letters of Credit, Import licenses, tariffs etc.

BDL’s success was recognised by a visit from Nigel Huddleston MP in the summer. His interest and enthusiasm about their business was well received and he was keen to hear all their concerns over Brexit, driver shortages and increased shipping costs for importing from the far east. As a result of the exponential growth experienced, BDL are delighted to become the latest Strategic Member of the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce. This will enable them to tap into forums, skills, and advice they currently don’t possess particularly around marketing and social media.
