As opposed to utilising any advertising company to design the new name, we simply dropped the `Chet’ from Ricochet. A simple and inexpensive idea… 2004 - Investment into TRACE In 2004, Ricochet realised that tracking of parts out bound and return was critical to ensuring an optimum supply chain loop see more > 2003 – Pick Up & Drop Off Points The PUDO (PICK UP & DROP OFF) service was developed as a collection point for our clients engineers to both collect their spares and drop off their returns. see more > 2002 - Ricochet couriers acquires Burnham Logistics It became apparent that delivering spares to engineers and waiting for return parts was expensive and inefficient and more innovative solutions were needed. We realised that as IT equipment became more modular, that the ability to deliver the spare part and exchange the part on site, would add significant efficiencies and optimise the costs. Ricochet acquired a specialist Tech exchange company 'Burnham Logistics’. see more > 1994 - Investment into UK warehousing The business decided to invest in setting up a number of strategic warehouses all over the UK to ensure any major city could be reached within two to four hours from these strategic warehouses. By 2000 this network of warehouses numbered 30. The warehouse network is now referred to as FSL’s (fixed stock locations). see more > 1990 - Rico commenced trading as a same day courier company in Slough. Within 2 years the business had expanded to 4 operations and gradually moved into servicing the requirements of major IT companies, delivering critical spares to their field engineers. We quickly discovered that service levels of 4 hours to fix equipment were becoming standard practise and realised that the only way to deliver this service was to hold the clients spares in our own locations.
