Care home supplier Blueleaf Care has relocated its head office and Southern distribution hub and service delivery centre to a larger, sustainable development in Crawley, West Sussex. 

Blueleaf Care is taking 65,000 square feet of warehouse space, which is twice the size of its previous premises in nearby Horsham.

The increased capacity will allow Blueleaf to hold more stock, which it said will give it more purchasing power, leading to more competitive prices for its clients.

The new facility will also enable the business to deliver on bank holidays and extend cut-off times for customers to place new orders, minimising disruption to deliveries.

The facility also has photovoltaic solar panels for energy and energy reducing sensory LED lights.

Blueleaf Care stated it is reviewing its suppliers and partners and aims to support local businesses that prioritise sustainable practices within their own operations.

Nick Frogbrook, chief executive of Blueleaf Care, said: “We need room to grow but we are also on a mission to reduce our environmental impact. The new location is better for our customers, and better for our people, while supporting our focus on sustainability which is central to the culture of our business.”
