As Diamond Logistics Plymouth continues to develop, we are pleased to share several updates on operations, facilities and future direction. The most significant change is a renewed focus on organic fulfilment and responsible warehousing, further strengthening our fulfilment services in Plymouth.
Growing with Purpose: Our Organic Focus
A central priority for Diamond Logistics Plymouth is to expand its organic fulfilment capability. This includes working with trusted suppliers such as EORA, specialists in organic and conventional olive oil, and supporting other producers whose products align with our values.
To support this growth, the team is also reviewing a vehicle renewal programme, beginning with the introduction of two electric vans for local delivery routes. This will help maintain efficiency while continuing to reduce environmental impact.
A Fully Operational New Warehouse
Diamond Logistics Plymouth is now fully established in its 7,000 square foot warehouse, marking an important milestone. The new facility offers:
-
A secure, level yard
-
Excellent access for articulated lorries
-
Direct routes into Plymouth city centre and key Devon transport links
This upgraded site enables smoother day to day operations while meeting the strict requirements associated with organic food handling.
Certified Organic, Fully Compliant
Diamond Logistics Plymouth holds full organic certification with the Organic Food Federation and is listed directly on their website. Certification requires rigorous compliance, and the warehouse has been designed to meet and exceed these standards.
This includes:
-
Segregated storage to prevent cross contamination
-
Clear labelling and dedicated handling areas
-
Designated quarantine zones for non conforming or suspect stock
-
Robust pest control systems with regular inspections
Alcohol storage is no longer offered, allowing full focus on organic goods and responsible warehousing practices.
Supporting Producers the Right Way
The warehouse is well suited to supporting local and regional producers, particularly those supplying shelf stable products. While it is not currently configured for short term perishables, it is ideal for goods with longer shelf lives that require careful handling and full traceability.
Clients benefit from clear visibility of their stock from intake through to dispatch. Every product is tracked by batch number and expiration date, ensuring full traceability. In the event of an issue or recall, products can be quickly identified and isolated, meeting organic compliance requirements and providing confidence throughout the supply chain.
Responsible Warehousing from Start to Finish
Current processes align with recognised warehousing and food handling standards, covering packaging, labelling, stock control and documentation. These systems help clients meet their own compliance obligations while ensuring products are stored and handled correctly at every stage.
Giving Back to the Community
Alongside commercial operations, Diamond Logistics Plymouth remains committed to supporting the local community. A recent example included transporting a large historic painting, created by students in the 1980s, from an auction house back to its original local school at no charge. The artwork is now proudly displayed, with a very positive response from both the school and the wider community.
Looking Ahead
These developments represent an important step forward. With improved facilities, certified organic processes and a clear commitment to sustainability, Diamond Logistics Plymouth is well positioned to support producers who value quality, compliance and transparency.
