Please allow us to show you our range of products and services and say a thank you for visiting cousinsuk.com. What follows is the rationale supporting our progress as a trade to trade supplier and subsequent expansion from the fledgling few rooms on the outskirts of London in the 1960s, to the now massive warehouse in Romford Essex. In addition we are further represented in the midlands with our impressive "walk in" showroom in the heart of the celebrated Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham.
Our most recent and major expansion was at our Romford main facility effectively doubled our warehouse size. Simultaneously we enhanced our state of the art product location and picking programme with a large investment in racking and storage containers to accommodate the rapidly increasing inventory. These improvements allowed us to both completely modernize the site and streamline our entire operations and stock management systems, thus ensuring the ongoing and key issues for our customers of efficiency in all areas, we monitor every order from the moment it is received right through to despatch.
The management here firmly believe that the combination of our global collaboration with the biggest and best manufacturing names, plus some significant acquisitions along the way and highly motivated staff, now numbering over 35, have been the bed rock for progress and has positioned Cousins at the forefront for service and value.
