The Neuvy-Saint-Sépulchre company specializes in a booming sector, ready-to-wear logistics. Its activity is developing with new hires.
Jean-Claude Benéteau started his activity alone in 1998. His company, located in Neuvy-Saint-Sépulchre, in the industrial zone of Fay, now has forty employees and he does not want to stop there.
Berry Services, which initially ensured the plasticization of products or documents, operates a niche in vogue: ready-to-wear logistics for major brands and large distribution chains.
Twenty new hires expected within two years
This work based on receiving, storing and shipping clothes and shoes has a particularity: "We can intervene on the products by washing them, repairing them and ironing them, underlines Jean-Claude Benéteau. When they have become compliant, they are put up for sale on the platform's site. "
The Neuvicienne company, which works on "rather high-end" brands, was affected by the first lockdown but, then, the explosion of Internet orders through the concept of second hand increased its activity tenfold. With great projects to boot. A 200 m2 extension has just been completed and a fourth extension of 5,000 m2 is planned. "We have also recruited four people since the start of the year and twenty new hires are scheduled within two years," explains Jean-Claude Benéteau. We are looking for people who want to work and who will become versatile thanks to in-house training, because we ask for a variety of things. "
For example, a photo studio has been created to show the finished products, which can be personalized with embroidery on demand.
Well positioned on the road network and located in the heart of France, Berry Services ships two thousand parcels a day to the four corners of the world and permanently stores one million parts. Its key words are: organization and responsiveness.
