Many of the UK's largest organizations grew from small beginnings.
Limelight Direct Ltd started from such humble begins. The firm first started trading supplying Hotels with all their bedding requirements. Our statement is "Why wait" and our mission is to get your order booked in for delivery at the time order. That way you know when the delivery day is. This is within days from ordering, how refreshing.
In 2002 the Director brought five beds and stored them in a domestic garage. A very small one line advert was placed in the local paper supplying a mobile number for sales. The firm then did not have a van so the Director "borrowed" a van from his builder mate when ever a delivery was required.
At the time we were delivering around THREE beds a week.
2004: The company continued to grow so required larger premises. In 2004 we moved to a larger Farm Unit "development" so we can hold larger stocks. At this time we were selling around fifty beds a week. It was around this time we purchased a transit van for our own deliveries.
2005:
Limelight Direct Ltd have now moved to a larger 10,000 sqft industrial unit and is now growing at a pace. Our warehouse is used for additional stock.
Thanks to its regular client base we now complete over
FIFTEEN
THOUSAND deliveries a year. With over
THREE THOUSAND
people visiting our website a day we are set to grow and grow.
2007: With our continued growth Limelight Direct again move into a larger 20,000 sq ft purpose designed industrial unit. However given our vast experience of moving furniture we did not move too far, just across the road in fact. With new custom designed logistics software we are now reaching far and wide.
2009: Just like our delivery lorries, we are always on the move. Given the company requires ever more storage we have located to a large storage warehouse in Sandy with additional hard standing ground for our growing fleet of vehicles.
LIMELIGHT DIRECT LIMITED features in the September 2009 Edition of the Merlin Scott Industry Report on the Furniture Retailers (Household) Sector containing the top 600 firms
2010:
We have already extended our facilities in Sandy to accomodate an additional eight thousand boxes. We have intoduced an unique automatic texting in system to ensure clients have upto date information regarding their order, from point of order to delivery. Limelight Direct have been reported within the top six in its field on Google.
Our continued policy?
We are well aware that our competion uses carriers to complete their deliveries, years ago we thought this was the best policy but after 6 months of storing damaged RETURNED goods we felt no carrier can handle furniture with care.
With this our policy now is to deliver over 93.6% of our goods using OUR OWN vehicles, this includes Scotland and Wales. Since this policy our returns due to damage have dropped to under 0.5%. How refreshing............
It has just been anounced that Limelight Direct Limited are The NUMBER ONE company in the United Kingdom within the bed and bedding sales sector. Our sales growth of 53.7% has been confirmed by companies house as the best performing company in the UK. OFFICIAL.
