Petit Forestier helps Lake District wholesaler meet customer demand

McClures, a family-run wholesaler, has been able to expand its business and meet customer demand thanks to the integration of Petit Forestier’s state-of-the-art cold storage containers. 

After successfully leasing several vehicles from Petit Forestier, they turned to the refrigeration experts searching for an answer to their storage problem. Three years on, McClures now leases four cold storage containers from Petit Forestier, all on long-term hires.  

The collaboration has not only enhanced the company’s storage, but the containers have played a pivotal role in the unprecedented growth McClures has seen coming out of the pandemic. 

Jeremy Cowan, Transport Manager at McClures, said: “With Petit Forestier’s cold storage containers, we have been able to meet the demands of our customers and stay local, without the need to invest resources into moving premises or going through lengthy planning applications. The containers are easy to install, and the reliability and ease of use have not only optimised our storage, but they’ve contributed significantly to our overall business growth.”

Chris Algeo-Brown, Head of Cold Storage Solutions at Petit Forestier UK & Ireland, explained: “Petit Forestier has a long history of pushing the boundaries of innovation in the refrigeration industry. Our cold storage offering is a testament to our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of our customers including getting the containers to them quickly and then providing ongoing maintenance services from our Field based Refrigeration Engineers. We’re thrilled to offer McClure the most advanced solution for maintaining their cold chain.”
