The UK’s Highways Agency (HA) has turned to international logistics specialist Norbert Dentressangle to handle, store and distribute variable message signs for the UK motorway network. Previously, the HA paid manufacturers to store its signs but, under the new arrangement, it will benefit from consolidating all the stock at Norbert Dentressangle’s Telford site. The company will also be responsible for the phased migration of product from manufacturer sites in Gatwick, Aylesbury and Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Norbert Dentressangle was originally appointed by the Highways Agency in 2010 to manage a storage and distribution operation from its modern shared-user warehouse in Telford. To accommodate the increase in stock, Norbert Dentressangle has invested in an additional warehouse at the site. This will provide bulk storage and 2,000 pallet locations for the signs, some of which are over four metres wide and weigh up to 800kg.
