With manufacturers operating to strict production schedules, engineering firms dependent on precision supply chains, and automotive customers requiring rapid parts and component deliveries, the need for a larger, more capable hub became essential.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2014 and backed by over three decades of sector expertise, NEPS has built a strong reputation for delivering dependable, punctual and cost-effective solutions for business-critical consignments. Today, the company serves a growing portfolio of automotive OEMs, tiered suppliers, engineering firms and manufacturers who rely on fast response, accuracy and full supply-chain visibility.<\/p>\n<p>To support this increasing demand, NEPS has significantly expanded its storage and fulfilment capabilities. The new warehouse offers enhanced capacity, a higher racking footprint and secure 24-hour monitored systems, enabling customers to streamline operations, hold strategic stock and scale effectively as production volumes increase.<\/p>\n<p>This infrastructure is reinforced by NEPS\u2019 fleet of more than 50 vehicles from small vans to HGVs dedicated to rapid response and time-critical movements across the UK. Strategically located on Team Valley, Gateshead, the facility provides immediate access to the A1 and A19 corridors, supporting just-in-time deliveries and urgent component movements around the clock.<\/p>\n<p>NEPS extends its thanks to Keith Stewart and Tobias Morrison from Naylors Gavin Black, and John Morgan from Hay &amp; Kilner \u2013 for their invaluable support in making the new facility a reality.<\/p>\n<p>Dan Gray, Founder and Managing Director at NEPS Logistics, commented: \u201cI always said I didn\u2019t want to get any bigger, but sometimes growth has a mind of its own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud of how far we\u2019ve come with an amazing team who go from strength to strength every single day, and a big thank you to our loyal customers who make it all possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This expansion marks the start of an exciting new chapter for NEPS as the company continues to grow and strengthen its position in the logistics sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEPS has entered a new phase of strategic growth as it closes the doors on its original warehouse at Unit 8, Octavian Way, Team Valley Trading Estate, and moves into [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":10011,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-member-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NEPS Embarks on a New Phase of Strategic Growth - The Engineering &amp;
