Polish food wholesaler to grow UK distribution from move to Gainsborough

A move from Lincoln to larger premises in Gainsborough sees Polish food wholesale business, piżarnia (UK) Ltd in prime position to expand its distribution network in the UK.

That’s the view of Eddisons incorporating Banks Long & Co who acted, as joint agent with CPP, on behalf of Swiss Life, on a property deal which sees the Lublin-headquartered business take a new lease on Unit 1 Peckett Plaza in Gainsborough.

piżarnia (UK) Ltd has been trading since 2012 and currently supplies over 600 Polish-food specialist retail outlets in the UK through a workforce of over 80 employees. Facing the end of its lease on premises at Boulder Business Park in Lincoln, the company had been seeking new premises large enough to accommodate its business growth plans – including further local recruitment – for over a year before securing the 21,290 sq ft warehouse facility at Peckett Plaza.

piżarnia (UK) Ltd operates a total of four cross-dock warehouses to fulfill its UK operations. In addition to Lincolnshire, it has others in London, Manchester and Portadown.

Przemyslaw Duklas, Director, confirmed that staying within Lincolnshire in the search for new premises was an imperative. He explains, “We needed to maintain a Lincolnshire presence because of the county’s position on the UK logistics map for ease of goods in and out, especially access to the Eastern commercial port links with mainland Europe.

“Plus, we wanted to remain in the area to not only retain our valued existing workforce, but also to tap in to the valuable local labour pool in looking to recruit to meet our business expansion plans.”

Eddisons’ Cameron McRae, who led the Lincoln-based agents marketing of Unit 1 Peckett Plaza in joint agency with Sean Bremner of CPP, confirmed that piżarnia (UK) Ltd is scheduled to commence operating from its new Gainsborough premises by early autumn.
