On the move with our own crates

The end of July saw our PPS East branch pack up and move over the road to a new warehouse facility boasting over 70,000 sq. ft. of internal space. The move from the existing 20,000 sq. ft. unit will enable the group continued growth and service the ever increasing demand in Returnable Transit Packaging. You might think it would have been an easy job as we have only moved over the road, but moving an operational wash facility and office comes with its challenges.

 Our operations team have spent months on site with contractors refurbishing what was an unused warehouse space into an environment that could be used for hygienically washing plastic food and fish crates to a BRC standard. Contractors worked tirelessly including over weekends to ensure we experienced as little down time as possible, this can always be tricky when you are operating 24/7.

Being a provider of reusable plastic crates to the removals industry has great benefits when you are moving yourself. With PPS2 standard crates being used for personal desk items, PPS3 metre crates for filling system and C2 IT crates for computers and accessories, it’s safe to say the move went to plan.

We look forward to welcoming customers and suppliers to our open event on Wednesday 9^th September to raise a glass to our new chapter.
