We were delighted to welcome a team from the Johnson Service Group to Curo House earlier this month (May). The Group which supplies our textiles to hotels and restaurants across the UK, is one of our most valued and trusted partners. We were very proud to show them around our Leeds base and to talk them through how our smooth operation works, from the moment their order is received until it is dispatched. We discussed potential new business and new services and how we can tackle the opportunities and the challenges of the future together. It was a tremendously positive visit and it was exciting to confirm that we shared the same values of quality, trust and reliability, all underpinned by a personal approach.  Our sustainability agendas also coincide, as we both strive to meet our clients’ needs with superior, eco-friendly products and much less waste. Together, with collaboration and innovation, we aim to be “green” leaders in the textile services sector.

Pegasus World is delighted to announce that we have chosen the Leeds United Foundation as our new charity partner. The Foundation is the charity of Leeds United Football Club. The Foundation’s mission is to use the power of football to enhance the lives of people across the Yorkshire region through opportunities in sport, education and healthier lifestyles.

We look forward to a long and productive partnership with a charity that makes a real difference to people’s lives in Yorkshire.

Featuring in the Yorkshire Post today our CEO Ivan Zhou takes great pride in this achievement and credits the hard work and commitment of our dedicated employees, who make Pegasus World's success possible. 🏅 With three divisions: Pegasus Group, Pegasus Investment, and Curo Fulfilment, Pegasus World Holding is continually expanding its operational capacities and exploring new markets.

A flourishing Leeds fulfilment centre has celebrated a record-breaking year. The Curo Fulfilment facility store, which is operated by Pegasus World Holding, has doubled its annual turnover. Curo Fulfilment is based in Curo House, a 75,000 sq ft state-of-the-art warehouse with offices, in the heart of the award-winning Logic Leeds business park by Junction 45 of the M1. Pegasus Head of Operations Luke Grant explained: “Since we launched two years ago, Curo has grown from a niche, but effective, fulfilment company into a major player in this challenging, competitive and ever-expanding sector. “We provide an unrivalled fulfilment service and are proud to stand out from our competitors. When a client’s stock arrives in our warehouse, we check it before scanning it and adding it to our inventory. We keep the client updated on their stock levels at every stage of fulfilment, so they know exactly how much stock they have in the warehouse. “Safety is at the heart of our operation. Our storage service is available independently of our 3PL services, while our extensive CCTV coverage keeps all of goods secure, and our expert team ensure all products are stored safely and correctly, from small jewellery items up to large pallets. “In essence, we take the pressure off companies to allow them to focus on their core business of sourcing, ordering and selling their products. We do the storing, packing and distribution, with integrated cloud-based software giving our clients real-time visibility of their orders and an easy order-to-despatch process.” Meanwhile Hussein Kahil, Marketing and Communications Manager, is extremely optimistic about the future of Curo Fulfilment. He commented: “This is a pioneering business venture of which we are extremely proud. Unlike other fulfilment centres, we are happy to take products of any size. Indeed, we specialise in the storage of over-sized goods and large machinery. We have ample space to accommodate them, which makes us stand out from our rivals. “We choose from a range of logistics partners to ensure goods are delivered when customers need them. With next-day delivery options, economy options, and options for large parcels, we have a wide range of choices to suit all needs. “Our bespoke base at Curo House also features serviced offices so we are offering new start-ups and established businesses an opportunity to work in an office on a cost-effective basis while being close to their products. This limits expenditure on both leasing premises elsewhere and expensive additional staff.” Clients include Omega PLC, one of the finest kitchen manufacturers in the UK and Vanderlande Industries UK, a market leader in logistic process automation in the warehousing, airports and parcel sectors. Curo Fulfilment houses Vanderlande’s oversized stock for Amazon’s automation processes. Hussein commented: “The quality of these two exceptional clients proves we mean business and that we are not just a new kid on the block, even though we are only just approaching our third anniversary. Having these clients says a lot about our capabilities, our customer service, the large machinery we can store and our costs.” Owen Woloszyn of Vanderlande commented: “The service that Curo Fulfilment offers is of immense value to us. By completely taking care of the logistics side of our business, we are free to concentrate on our core work. “It’s such a brilliant, yet such a simple, idea. In the past, we have spent too much time concentrating on making sure our products are stored and delivered safely and correctly. Now we don’t have to worry about that. And that means we have time to expand our sales and marketing operation, which, in turn, should mean increased turnover, profits – and jobs. “It has been a tremendous pleasure working with Curo. We would heartily recommend their services to other businesses who need support with their storage and distribution.” One unique selling point for Curo Fulfilment is the provision of FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon) processing services at highly competitive prices, enabling clients to enjoy the benefits of Amazon fulfilment while keeping costs down. Hussein explained: “Our integrated software platform receives orders directly for Amazon FBA inventory restock. Our team works to quickly and carefully pick, pack, and dispatch the orders, whether for individual items, boxes, or pallets, and we then choose from a range of logistics partners to ensure goods are delivered to Amazon FBA Centres, at the best possible rates.” He added: “Curo is Latin for ‘care’ and is embedded in our philosophy. We know that operational tasks can be time-consuming and demanding, so our team of experienced operators take this headache away from your business to save you time and allow you to grow your bottom line.” Pegasus World’s passion and ambition has taken the company from a small start-up company in York, sourcing and selling clothing to the hospitality sector, to a global, multi-disciplinary group, looking to innovate and expand at every opportunity. The company is dedicated to having a positive impact on its customers and suppliers by creating healthy, empowering relationships, built on trust.

Pegasus World, based in Leeds, has donated £4,000 to leading Harrogate mental health charity Wellspring Therapy & Training. This donation is part of Pegasus’s on-going campaign to support mental health charities across the UK. The company, which occupies Curo House, a 75,000 sq ft state-of-the art office and warehouse building at Logic Leeds Business Park by Junction 45 of the M1, places great emphasis on good mental health in the workplace. CEO Ivan Zhou explained: “We take our social responsibilities extremely seriously. We are proud to support the magnificent Yorkshire mental health charity, Wellspring Therapy & Training, with a £4,000 donation. “Wellspring provides private counselling at affordable rates, easing the overwhelming demand on the NHS’s mental health services, and providing hope for children, families and individuals who are struggling with mental ill health and distress.” “As we create more quality and sustainable jobs in the Leeds area, providing a timely boost to the region’s economy, so we are aware of the importance of creating a happy and supportive working environment for all our staff.” Ivan added: “I believe all Yorkshire businesses should make good mental health in the workplace a top priority and a key element of their corporate and social responsibility programmes. Together, we can make a real difference. “We are proud of our sustainability programme, of which supporting mental health charities is a key part and we are determined to build on it in the months and years to come. We are confident all our business partners will join us on this vitally important journey. Watch this space.” Nick Garrett, Interim Chief Executive of Wellspring said: “Pegasus World Holding’s warehousing and distribution expertise is vital to the health of the Leeds City Region. This much needed donation is also vital as it will help us improve peoples’ mental health. I can’t thank Ivan Zhou enough for his company’s generosity.” Wellspring Therapy & Training is based at 78 High Street in Starbeck. The well-respected charity, which was founded by in 2003, provides affordable short and long-term counselling for the Harrogate and district community. What makes Wellspring’s work unique is that the charity offers affordable long-term, open-ended counselling where needed. This type of therapy is not currently widely available from the NHS. Most private counselling typically costs between £50 or more for each session, but many of Wellspring’s clients are unable to afford this. Looking ahead, Wellspring hopes to be able to counsel 220 clients by the end of next year, building on the 170 now on the charity’s books.
