New Head Office for KC Group Shipping

CREATIVELY DESIGNED WITH
COLLABORATION IN MIND

At KC Group Shipping, we dedicate our working week to providing logistics solutions to complex global supply chains, delivering cargo around the globe whilst being the logistics partner for leading multinational companies and SMEs. Recently, we were on the move to our new custom-designed office suite just minutes away from Albert House, where the foundations were laid for Scotland's largest truly independent shipping and logistics provider.

NEW OFFICE SAME DYNAMIC TEAM

Our new office suite at Seaward Place in the heart of Glasgow's traditional trading district is close to the motorway network, underground and only minutes from the Clydeside, making it the perfect location for our new head office.

We designed the space with collaboration in mind, a place to work with colleagues in a relaxed and modern environment with the space to allow expansion opportunities as we push ahead with our continued growth strategy.

"Our team absolutely love the new workspace. It provides room for each business division to have a dedicated hub, allowing us to work together more effectively to manage our customer's needs. The breakout areas are a welcome addition, providing a relaxed space to meet with co-workers and customers, plus the kitchen and cafe area is superb." Amy, European Road Freight Division.

READY FOR A NEW ERA IN LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT

Logistics management has evolved into a modern high-tech sector that is becoming one of the leading innovators of The Internet of Things (IoT), allowing freight to be tracked around the globe without the necessity for human input at every step. Technology and experienced people provide a hybrid which allows KC Group Shipping to manage consignments efficiently and feedback real-time data to our teams and customers.

Our agile and connected workspace helps us embrace modern technology with easier collaboration across the business. We are breaking away from the traditional linear supply chain and creating more circular logistics systems that provide not only cost-effective solutions for our clients but additionally deliver a more sustainable future.

ADDRESSING POST BREXIT CHALLENGES

Brexit has brought challenges for many organisations and sectors, including logistics over recent years. At KC Group Shipping, we turn challenges into solutions for our customers and ensure minimal disruption to their business. With new business and systems to manage, KC Group Shipping formed a dedicated European Team to help address new rules and procedures to navigate customs for our European import and export customers. Our new hub delivers a more connected working environment for our team which is crucial when managing new and ever-evolving regulations.

"The new office encourages a platform for colleagues to bounce ideas off each other and work closer. It's a perfect environment and a place we can be proud of." Andy Robinson, European Team Leader.

ENHANCING THE CAPABILITIES OF KC GROUP SHIPPING

From our early beginnings, we have always looked to the future. With the growing challenges within the global supply chain, having dedicated teams across our divisions under a single modern office environment is already bringing its rewards. The more effortless flow of ideas between colleagues and across teams is helping us streamline operations and procedures and maximise customer focus.

"We see ourselves as an extension of our customer's business, whether that is providing administrative support, guidance or helping them nurture their own client relationships, we embed ourselves within their company ethos. This has accelerated our growth and enhanced our relationships with our customers. The office move was part of our strategy to strengthen our customer service and provide a better space for collaboration and innovation."
