Transport & Distribution

Dams have introduced the concept of ‘Desk Miles’ to the company this is the distance products travel during manufacture, from raw materials to finished goods and onward to the customer. Part of this concept includes sourcing raw materials locally such as metal work, fabrics and particle board. This helps contribute not only to the local economy but also to the environment.


Dams utilise the latest satellite tracking technology to plan the route of each vehicle in their fleet, across the UK. A special team, located in our head office, control and organise each delivery as efficiently and with as little environmental impact as possible.


Local distribution centres break down bulk shipments, from the factory, into smaller loads. These loads are then delivered to the customer using a fleet of smaller vehicles more suited to urban routes than larger vehicles. The benefit to you as a user or purchaser is that you can be assured of the environmental validity of the products manufactured and supplied by us.


All of the particle board used by Dams is both FSC & PEFC compliant.

The UK contributes about 2% to global manmade emissions, which, according to the IPCC, were, estimated to be 38 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2004. CO2 accounted for about 85% of the UK’s manmade greenhouse gas emissions in 2006.
