The time-lapse video of the Greggs distribution centre, created by the Clegg Group, offers a fascinating "life of a pallet" perspective, providing a dynamic journey through the various operational stages of the facility. This unique viewpoint highlights the efficiency and scale of the distribution process, showing how products move seamlessly through the centre from arrival to dispatch.

The video begins with the arrival of a fully loaded pallet, as delivery trucks pull into the unloading bay. Forklifts spring into action, unloading goods swiftly and transporting them to designated storage areas. The video captures the organisation of the warehouse as pallets are stacked with precision, showcasing the centre’s impressive capacity and automated systems that keep everything running smoothly.

As the time-lapse progresses, we follow a pallet as it is retrieved from storage for the next stage of its journey. Forklifts and automated conveyor systems move the pallet efficiently toward the order-picking area. Here, the footage highlights workers and machines working in harmony, picking and packing products from the pallet for dispatch to various Greggs stores across the country.

The journey continues as the pallet moves into the quality control zone, ensuring all products meet Greggs’ strict standards before leaving the facility. After passing inspection, the pallet makes its way to the dispatch area, where it is loaded onto trucks for delivery. The time-lapse captures the organised chaos of the dispatch bays, where numerous vehicles are loaded simultaneously, demonstrating the scale of operations.

By the end of the video, the pallet has completed its full cycle—from arrival to departure—providing a captivating look at the efficiency and precision of Greggs’ distribution process, expertly brought to life by the Clegg Group's well-planned and executed centre.
