Everything is moving so fast here!

Phase One of our racking project is now complete!
Our racking is now installed and ready; we’ve just got to wait for our new forklift, which should be here in about 3 weeks time and then we can start filling the racks to capacity. How exciting!

New vehicles!
We’ve purchased 3 new vehicles - One x 18 tonnes and 1 x 7.5 tonnes. The vehicles were previously on a lease agreement. Once the leases expired we decided to buy them to reduce our costs. We will run them for a further 3 years.

New offices!
As you will see from my first post, we have moved out of the portacabins that we inhabited for the past 5 years and have moved into purpose built offices on site. It’s really good having all the operations of the business in one place – communication, which was good before, is now excellent!

New warehouse lighting!
We are replacing the lighting in our warehouse. In order to improve carbon emissions, we are replacing the existing with low energy, individually switched units. We are hoping that the carbon trust will issue us with an interest free loan, which will be paid for by the savings we will make by installing the new lighting.

I must get my camera out next week and do a David Bailey!!
