A Future-proofed HQ for Contact Marketing

Calibro have been engaged by Contact Marketing, owners and distributors of various brands including Favour Pet Foods, to complete the design and fitout of their newly built office headquarters in Randalstown.

The two-storey office and adjacent extended warehouse will bring together the core team and fulfilment centre, fostering greater cohesion and collaboration, and facilitating future growth for the company.

The new workspace will bring a modern look and feel to the brand as they seek to cater to their multi-generational workforce. An open plan work area will be created, complemented by quiet pods, meeting rooms, individual offices, a reception, and amenities on the ground floor, with a twelve-seater boardroom and staff breakout and wellbeing facility on the upper floor, in addition to further office space.

Jarl Porter, Head of Client Relations at Calibro said “it’s been great to partner with Contact Marketing throughout the design and build of their new premises. First providing input on the architectural package during the planning stage, and now realising the vision for their new workspace. We’re looking forward to handing over the completed space in the coming months.”

Steven McGarry, Joint Managing Director at Contact Marketing adds ‘’from our initial meeting with the Calibro team it was clear to see that these guys could deliver on our vision of what and how our new office space could look and feel like. Communication has been efficient and preparation for this project has been meticulous by the Calibro team, so we are really looking forward to the final delivery of the project.

Contact Marketing has experienced exceptional growth in all areas of the business in the last number of years, with an increase in our product range, significant brand volume growth and new markets being established. Our online third-party logistics (3PL) operation has witnessed exceptional growth as we have partnered with numerous EU and GB brands, allowing them to access their consumer base with a partner with benefits of a NI location, allowing for the smooth and super-efficient service that Contact Marketing provides.

Further system investment ahead will make it even easier for new supply partners to integrate their systems with ours, allowing Contact Marketing to seamlessly provide the service our customers and clients want and deserve!”

Neil McGarry, Joint Managing Director at Contact Marketing said “this major capital investment has been several years in planning, allowing for the next stage of growth and we are delighted to be nearing the end of the project.

As a business, we are extremely confident that this investment will future proof our status as not only a leading supplier of quality products to the Pet Industry, but also a first-class 3PL provider to our partner clients.

We now have facilities that our employees can enjoy and thrive in, whom we truly thank and are very grateful for their dedication and support over the last 42 years. This can only lead to providing an even better service to all our customers which is ultimately our main aim”
