Gavin Williamson, MP for South Staffordshire, visited the Spectrum Brands Distribution Depot off Heath Mill Road, Wombourne last week.
Gavin met with Jen Cooke, Spectrum’s Brand and Communications Manager for UK and Ireland Appliances, Tim Wright, the Vice President of Appliances Europe, and Glyn Woodland, the Distribution Controller to learn about day-to-day operations at the depot. Gavin was also given a tour of the facilities to understand more about the business and the future of the site.
Spectrum Brands is a rapidly growing global consumer products company which manufactures and markets state-of-the-art home appliances and electronic goods. Spectrum Brands’ products are sold to the world’s top 25 retailers and are available in more than one million stores across 160 countries.
Upon completing his visit, Gavin said: “I try to visit as many local businesses as I can and Spectrum Brands is a fantastic example of a global business operating at a local level, offering high quality products and creating jobs here in the constituency.
“It was great to be able to learn a little bit about what Spectrum does and how it has been such a success. I was very interested to hear about issues relevant to Spectrum and what we can do to help businesses like this go from strength to strength.”
