Specialising in finishing, repairs and logistics for fashion items, Berry Services constantly challenges itself, adapting to the market and its customers’ needs.
See how we have developed over the years :
2024
Berry Services' objective for 2024 is to prepare to absorb the growth of the coming years in the best possible conditions. The redeployment of the personnel structure is continuing, notably with the creation of an IT department and the recruitment of an IT Manager. Berry Services is modernizing its equipment, in particular the ironing equipment will be replaced by more innovative and better adapted equipment. The Aqua Cleaning solution, much more environmentally friendly, will be widespread. And above all, Berry Services is scaling and launching the extension of its warehouse, with a fully automated, state-of-the-art clothing conveyor solution.
2024 turnover : In progress.
2023
The growth of Berry Services has been confirmed, with turnover more than doubling in two years. The three main sectors of activity of Berry Services have progressed: second hand which, as it becomes more widespread, is of interest to more and more brands, logistics, boosted by the arrival of new customers and re-compliance, the historic activity of Berry Services, which is starting, has regained its level of activity before the COVID period. To absorb this growth and prepare for the coming years, Berry Services is modernizing and adapting to new markets: a new staff structure has been put in place, notably the creation of a Deputy Director position, the IT network has been completely redesigned and resized, the “WMS” workshop management software was updated and adapted, the warehouse was redeveloped to optimize space, the hanging storage capacity was doubled, the refectory was enlarged and redeveloped into a more modern and more friendly place.
2023 turnover : 5,565,000 euros, i.e. a growth rate of over 41%.
2022
The year 2022 is the year of a new start, Berry Services is preparing and laying the foundations for a new pace of activity divided into three categories in the processing of Fashion articles: logistics, including the preparation of orders B to C, the booming second hand and historic compliance activity. To complement its expertise in Fashion, Berry Services trains its staff in leather trades. The photo-taking activity is now completely integrated and controlled, 4 photo-taking stations are operational.
2022 turnover : 3,937,000 euros, i.e. a growth rate of over 50%.
2021
Berry Services has almost generally returned to its pre-COVID level of activity. The activity of bringing into compliance, even if it is growing up, is still significantly below and has not yet returned to its level of two or three years ago. On the other hand, the activity related to e-commerce has developed well, with existing customers and new customers. And, 2021 is the year of the start of second-hand processing, a booming market in which Berry Services has been able to highlight real expertise. During the year, Berry Services set up a new photo-taking activity, particularly for second-hand items, and began to perform subcontracting ADV services on behalf of a first client. In 2021, Berry Services hired 4 new people.
2021 turnover : 2,632,000 euros.
2020
Like all stakeholders in the fashion industry, Berry Services has been hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis. Most of Berry Services' clients have seen their activity decrease and several major customers have even wound up their companies. Although Berry Services has been present throughout the whole crisis and lockdowns, primarily to ensure the shipment of orders placed on its customers’ websites, Berry Services’ activity completely collapsed during the months of March, April, May and June 2020. In all, over the year, Berry Services’ turnover dropped by almost 30%. The new services directly linked to COVID, such as the production of masks and gowns and protective equipment logistics, were not enough to offset the drop in turnover. Berry Services had to resort to short-time working, but the company's future was secured without having to make redundancies.
