And “home” it was! The garage attached to our CEO’s house, kitted out with 3×2” timber framework and chipboard shelving. All goods were collected from suppliers and delivered in our CEO’s estate car! It was mainly retail packaging supplied within 20 miles, as we had a team of 2 at that stage (1 full time and 1 part time).
This was an old bakehouse when we acquired it. We hired an oxy-acetylene cutter to cut the oven out and spent many hours de-greasing and de-flouring the entire internal structure!
This building provided two story accommodation, totalling approximately 1500sq.ft. We then had a team of 3, and retail packaging was supplied within approx. 25 miles + national supply to card shop group by carrier.
A big upgrade to 3000 sq. ft. It was still mainly retail packaging within 30 miles and national supply by carrier. Our team increased to 5 too!
It was here we introduced some industrial packaging lines to our range, and we’ve never looked back since.
An increase in size again, this time to 5500 sq.ft. The move really helped us to move over to industrial packaging.
The team increased from 5 to 10 here too.
We built site 1, at 13,500 sq.ft. during the year 2000 and moved in at the end of the year. Our focus was now nearly all industrial packaging. The team was now 15-strong.
We extended site 1 to 18,500 sq.ft. in 2010, and acquired site 2, an extra 24,000 sq.ft. in 2011. With the increase in space, the team increased to 30!
This Warehouse is a 53,000 sq.ft, accredited facility, where we typically held 8- 12 weeks stock of your major lines.
