In October last year, UK footwear brand FitFlop set its sights on expanding its presence across Europe by partnering with Bleckmann.

FitFlop global logistics director Sal Billington commented at the time: “Bleckmann’s warehouses operate seven days a week until midnight, so we can now offer UK mainland customers next-day delivery for orders placed on our website before 9pm. This promises to be a huge competitive advantage.”
