🤠🚀 A little adventure-inspired look at what we do best. We’ve taken inspiration from a familiar story to highlight some of the ways ILG supports growing brands. Boot personalisation? We’ve got it covered. Orders picked by the chosen ones? Absolutely. Fulfilment that seems to happen when no one’s looking? Pretty much. And if it feels like there’s a snake in your boot when it comes to your current logistics operation… it might be time for a chat. To new markets and beyond! 🚀📦 #WeareILG #Personalisation #OrderPicking #CustomerExperience #BehindTheScenes

Giving Back to Our Charity of the Year 💙 On 11th June, as part of the volunteer days offered by ILG and GFS, Kristine and Sambi . spent the day at Chestnut Tree House’s Regional Distribution Centre, helping to sort and prepare donated items for distribution across their charity shops. From clothing and accessories to household goods, every item processed played a part in supporting children with life-limiting conditions and their families. It was a hands-on day that gave a real insight into the incredible work that happens behind the scenes to turn donations into vital funding. A huge thank you to Nicky and the warehouse team for making them feel so welcome and for showing us the impact that even a single day of volunteering can have. We’re proud to support Chestnut Tree House as our Charity of the Year and look forward to continuing our fundraising and volunteering efforts throughout the year. 🧡
