Fresh Optimism
The beginning of a new year always fills us with fresh optimism as we plan for new opportunities and establish our strategies for growth . It ’ s also a fantastic time to look back and remember the highs and lows of the year before , and then set clear goals for the
12 months ahead . This ensures we can maximise efficiency by streamlining our processes throughout the organisation .
BEN BROCKLESBY , DIRECTOR AT ORIGIN
Despite the challenges faced across the industry in 2021 , it was a very strong year for Origin . In fact , we were busier than ever , with new products being launched and our network of Partners growing to more than 1,200 . As we move into 2022 , demand is still exceptionally high , leaving us full of confidence as we kick off our next chapter .
The start of a new year brings with it the opportunity to reinforce the commitments we made last year to futureproofing our business , while also continuing to pursue growth . Our largest investment in 2021 was the opening of ‘ The Ark ’, our new 55,000ft 2 warehouse facility , located in Bicester . This warehouse ensures that our stock , supply chain , and production operations will all continue , no matter what challenges may be in store this year .
With the effects of Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic still very much present , most of the industry is having to overcome supply chain uncertainties . However , The Ark leaves us confident that our ‘ on time , in full ’ promise will remain intact . Regardless of the size or urgency of the order , we can continue to offer our gold-standard level of service to every Partner , something that many within the industry simply aren ’ t able to do .
Continuing to develop our ‘ one-click ’ vision will also play a major role in 2022 . With this process in place , everything from sales and manufacturing to delivery will be triggered by the click of one button . Using our unique OSS system , a works order is automatically created once a Partner has confirmed their order . Materials are then deducted from stock control and new materials are ordered to replenish levels . Line supply is then undertaken and manufacturing can begin , whilst delivery is scheduled . All of this occurs without any human intervention . This is really exciting , not only for us , but our Partners too .
We are ultimately most excited to be working with our wonderful network of Partners once again . With support initiatives and product launches in the pipeline , as well as continual development , we are confident that 2022 will be a huge success for everyone at Origin and those associated with us .
