Distribution

Product distribution has grown enormously, not just in the UK but worldwide. Initially distribution meant the wholesaling of goods to the manufacturing and commercial sectors (B to B) however the growth of the supermarkets and out of town retail outlets has led to the formation of specialist logistics companies distributing all manner of goods from central warehouses. Additionally the availability of the internet to the home market has now enabled the consumer to select, buy and have delivered goods direct to their door (B to C). New industries have emerged and grown in support of this business process.

  • Automated warehouses using robotics
  • Just in time logistics operations
  • Next day delivery services
  • Web based shopfronts
  • Software for ordering, despatch and taking payment
  • Smart packaging

Harris Bassett act for several companies within this sector and can help by pooling knowledge and experience, thereby cutting costs and improving efficiencies in addition to providing traditional services needed by new and expanding businesses.

I have found the people who work at Harris Bassett to be consistently friendly, sincere and efficient. They have prepared my taxation returns for five years now and the way they interact with me has never changed. They have always returned phone calls in person, answered emails promptly and sent my taxation return to the taxation department  in good time. I have never thought of asking any one else to prepare my taxation return even though I live a very long way away from their office and have many accountants in the area where I live who are close by because I know I would be extremely lucky to ever find another firm who is as good in all respects as Harris Bassett.
