2. Increase Your Margins
When you are an SME, you don’t have the economies of scale larger businesses do. This is why 3PL makes so much sense for SMEs. We can deepen your margins. Once you consider the true costs involved, it is almost always the case that a good 3PL provider can do it cheaper.
This is because:
- You’ll benefit from our economies of scale and bulk courier discounts
- Highly efficient ISO 9001 certified processes
- Benefit from our vast experience in solving any logistical problem
- We have invested in the latest warehouse technologies, giving great efficiencies
Outsourcing your order fulfilment to TFP means you can benefit from all of the above and deepen your margins.

3. Eliminate Fear and Frustration
One of the big fears small businesses have is that their business won’t matter. If there is a problem with service, then, due to their small size, they will be at the back of the queue. This fear is only exaggerated when looking at very large fulfilment service providers. At TFP, we resolve this fear in three ways.
Firstly, we are the right size for SMEs. Whilst we are big enough to cope, we are not so big that small customers no longer matter to us. Most of our customers are SMEs, and each one matters to us.
Secondly, we understand what it is like to be an SME. We are an SME too, so we get it. We understand exactly what it’s like day to day in the “small business world.”
Thirdly, we put you in direct contact with the people who work on your account. This is true even for our smallest customers.

4. We Help You Focus on Growth
We’re sure you didn’t get into business because you wanted to spend half of your day picking and packing your customer orders, but that’s what many small business owners end up doing. It may not be where your talents lie!
We, however, did get into business to pick and pack, and we’ve made it our mission to do this very well. It’s what we do, and we can do it for you! It’s our passion, and it IS where our talents lie. When we do this for you, we will free up your time to focus on what you are great at!
Would it be nice to:
- Have more time to focus on marketing?
- Have more time to focus on product development?
- Have more time to focus on your key business relationships?
- Get a few of those evening and weekend hours back?

5. Remove the Risk
Growing any small business involves risk. Taking the step to invest in new warehousing premises or hiring extra staff to pick and pack is a significant risk. With TFP, you don’t need to take on that risk because we have already made all the necessary investments.
We have:
- Two warehouse sites ideally located in Newark, East Midlands
- Ready-equipped with various racking, shelving, and binned storage options
- Industry-leading software that integrates with almost anything via API
- Experienced and long-serving staff
- Established shipping and logistics networks
- Robust ISO 9001 certified processes
- 18-year track record of success
- Incredibly loyal customer base with excellent customer retention
With all this in place, we can lessen the financial risks associated with expanding your small business.

Next Steps
Most potential new clients share a few simple things when they approach us – they ultimately want their business, their customers, and their products to be well looked after and in the hands of a fulfilment partner who cares. This is especially true for small business owners who often fear that large fulfilment service providers won’t care enough about their small business.
We care.
Yes, they also need to know that we have the facilities, processes, technology, and systems to ensure the ‘day to day’ runs smoothly and efficiently. These are important factors. But can all this be in place, and can it be done with care?
We’ve got all the required operational boxes ticked, and we care.
Recently, one customer said to us after a few months working with The Fulfilment People: “You meant every word you said at the start, didn’t you?”
Yes, we did, and we do – we care. It’s simply a part of who we are and what we do every day.
