After the collapse of STL, Kingsway now distributing themselves
IN THE March issue of Britain's trade magazine Christian Marketplace
the executive director of Kingsway Music, John Paculabo, spoke about
his company's decision to distribute Kingsway's music and books
themselves. "Since Christmas we have loaded that warehouse up with
bulk stock and we have already been despatching international orders
for two weeks. Our systems are loaded, all product information is on
the system, all bar codes are on, all ISBNs are loaded, our picking
locations are all full and we're ready to press the button on Monday
(1st Feb). We've doubled our warehousing capacity and we probably have
around 25,000 sq feet now. Eventually we will probably employ six or
seven extra staff, but not just in the warehouse, there are other
positions we will need to fill as well. We've already increased our
tele-sales team."
