J logistics
The future of the fulfilment industry is looking bright for the Island’s economy as more and more people are looking to the internet to find the products they require.
The sector is growing at ten times the rate of traditional retail outlets and locally it is estimated that approximately 1000 individuals are now employed in the fulfilment industry, packing and shipping a wide range of goods including CDs, DVDs, clothing, health products, contact lenses and flowers.
J logistics, based at the St Helier harbour, was set up to provide a key role in nurturing new fulfilment businesses in the Island and helping them to develop the bulk mailing and distribution of their goods once their businesses are established – an innovative approach that has achieved significant growth.
Major online retailers have chosen Jersey as the base for their fulfilment industry and this has created an important new sector in the Island’s economy. Increasingly, J logistics are now assisting more and more locally based online retailers with their bulk mailing and distribution to other Channel Islands, the UK and the rest of the world.
