End-to-end
logistics services provider Torque agreed
to partner with Nubian Skin in early 2014, ahead of the brands’ launch, and
will now provide its entire warehouse and logistics operation for both direct
customers and wholesale accounts. Services include: Freight; e-fulfilment;
customs support; quality checking; pick and pack; distribution and returns
management.
In addition, Torque has also
taken Nubian Skin through the rigorous customs process for commercial
invoicing, sourced packaging and labelling and provided advice to support the
launch and ongoing operations.
Explaining the partnership, Ade
Hassan, founder, Nubian Skin, said: “As we were a start-up
company, Torque took a chance on us as they believed in our vision. They
have been instrumental in our growth by making sure everything from a logistics
perspective runs seamlessly. When you get emails from different members
of the team about things they’ve seen about you in the media, you know they are
genuinely interested in your success”.
Stewart Firth, head of operations, Torque, said: “We’re
delighted to be working with Nubian Skin and be part of their launch. We
believe in the brand and look forward to working with them as they grow”.
Nubian
Skin launched in October 2014 with a carefully edited collection of lingerie
and hosiery to provide the essential underwear needs of women of colour.

forward to growing the company’s offering and expanding its reach.
