Polish wholesaler relocates to Gainsborough

A Polish food wholesale business has relocated from Lincoln to larger premises in Gainsborough to expand its distribution network in the UK.

Spiżarnia (UK) Ltd, which has been trading since 2012 and currently supplies more than 600 Polish-food specialist retail outlets in the UK, has signed a lease on Unit 1 Peckett Plaza.

Facing the end of its lease on premises at Boulder Business Park in Lincoln, the company had been seeking new premises large enough to accommodate its growth plans - including further local recruitment - for more than a year before securing the 21,290 sq ft warehouse facility at Peckett Plaza.

Director Przemyslaw Duklas said, "We needed to maintain a Lincolnshire presence because of the county's position on the UK logistics map for ease of goods in and out, especially access to the eastern commercial port links with mainland Europe.

"Plus, we wanted to remain in the area to not only retain our valued existing workforce, but also to tap into the valuable local labour pool."

Spiżarnia had moved to Lincoln's Boulder Business Park in late 2019. Earlier in April this year, Spiżarnia announced that it has opened a branch in Gdynia which would give the company new opportunities to distribute goods also by sea. It is also an opportunity to enter new markets, including such attractive ones as China, the USA, Canada and Scandinavia. The new branch is such our maritime window to the world.
