“This new facility allows us to provide highly reliable end-to-end solution for temperature-sensitive healthcare products,” said Paul Morris, Head of Pharma & Healthcare Vertical for GEODIS in UK. “With advanced monitoring systems, robust compliance standards and strong connectivity across the UK, we are well positioned to support pharmaceutical and biotech companies with safe, efficient and scalable logistics solutions.” 

A Warehouse Management System (WMS) will provide barcode scanning, batch traceability, full audit trails, and real-time inventory visibility to ensure compliance, transparency, and operational efficiency throughout the supply chain, whether for inventory holding or fast-moving distribution flows. 

The Manchester site meets a wide range of international quality and security standards, including GDP/ WDA pharmaceutical compliance, as well as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, TAPA, AEO, and Dangerous Goods certifications.
