Ceva opens Midlands medical site

[ November 16, 2017   //   Chris ]

CEVA Logistics has opened a refurbished 132,000sq ft facility at Redditch to customers in the healthcare sector and to bring it up to Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency standards.

Work included the addition of LED lighting as well as the installation of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning system in line with industry requirements. There is also a dedicated area in the warehouse that allows specialist items to be kept at between two and eight degrees Celsius.

The opening of the facility coincides with a new five year warehousing agreement and a three year transport agreement with medical nutrition firm Nutricia. CEVA provides the warehousing and distribution of medical nutritional feed products to both pharmaceutical wholesalers and home-bound patients and the site has a Registered Pharmacy to dispense prescriptions and an onsite pharmacist and support team to check all home delivery orders and prescriptions using bespoke software.

In addition, BMI Healthcare, UKs largest private hospital group is also moving the new facility where CEVA will continue to provide warehousing and distribution for its medicines and hospital consumable goods.
