Sony DADC London centre due to relaunch this summer
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 28 March 2012
Sony’s logistics business Sony DADC has announced it will open a new “enhanced” distribution centre in Enfield, North London on the site of the facility that was burned to the ground during the riots that occurred in the capital last August, taking stock from numerous independent record companies with it.
The new complex will have an extra layer of offices than the old building, and will have “more capacity, technology investment and an enhanced security concept” according to Sony DADC bosses, who hope to have the facility up and running by the summer.
MCV quote Sony DADC’s UK General Manager Natasha Tyrrell thus: “Despite suffering the complete loss of our UK distribution centre in summer 2011, our customers have been very supportive and encouraging during the difficult period post fire, while our team has shown tremendous strength of character and determination to succeed. We are determined to keep this fantastic team together, to strengthen their resources and to create a great place to work – while supporting our current client base in their growth strategies”.
Indie label distributor [PIAS] used the Sony DADC centre, which was why the fire affected so many independent labels. The music firm has been using an alternative Sony DADC centre since the fire, as well as working with Proper Music to supply independent retailers.
