Overview
State of the art storage facilities.
From our headquarters in Glastonbury, Somerset, we operate a large-scale operation of deployment and distribution. With more than 120,000 sq ft of storage, our accredited facility can offer storage space to our customers for short or long-term storage, whatever the volume.
Ambient storage refers to the warehousing of items in an environment that maintains room temperature with no controlled humidity or cooling systems. This versatile method is suitable for storing a wide range of products, including non-perishable food items, pharmaceuticals, electronics, textiles, and more.
Storage rarely stands on its own. Goods arrive by container destuffing or on our own trucks, leave again as pallet delivery, and can be picked and packed to order in between. Imported stock can sit in bonded storage instead, with the duty suspended.
Two ways to store it
Racked, or block stacked.
In our state-of-the-art facility we can offer fully racked or block stack storage — whichever suits the product, the volume and how often it moves.
Block stack
Block stacked
Pallets stacked together on the floor, using the cube rather than the steel. The economical choice for volume of a single line.
BRCGS
Accredited, and audited to stay that way
The British Retail Consortium Global is a leading independent food safety accreditation. It is widely accepted amongst supermarkets and major organisations, demonstrating that stringent food safety regulations are being adhered to by food suppliers.
What ambient means
Room temperature, and nothing pretending otherwise.
Ambient storage is the warehousing of items in an environment that maintains room temperature with no controlled humidity or cooling systems. We do not claim chilled or frozen, because we do not do chilled or frozen.

What does ambient storage mean?
Ambient storage is the warehousing of items in an environment that maintains room temperature with no controlled humidity or cooling systems. It suits a wide range of products, including non-perishable food items, pharmaceuticals, electronics and textiles. It is not chilled and it is not frozen, and we do not offer either.
How much storage space do you have?
More than 120,000 sq ft, on a seven-acre site at our headquarters in Glastonbury, Somerset — roughly one and a half football pitches of floor.
What is the difference between racked and block stack storage?
Fully racked means every pallet has its own location, so anything can be reached without moving anything else — the choice where stock turns over quickly or the range is wide. Block stacked means pallets are stacked together on the floor, using the cube rather than the steel, which is more economical for volume of a single line. We offer both.
Is the warehouse accredited?
Yes. Our 120,000 sq ft warehouse and container storage facilities are all accredited to the BRCGS Standard at grade AA. The British Retail Consortium Global standard is a leading independent food safety accreditation, widely accepted amongst supermarkets and major organisations.
Can you store goods short term?
Yes — our accredited facility can offer storage space to our customers for short or long-term storage, whatever the volume.
Can you deliver the goods out of storage as well?
Yes. Storage is on the same site as the fleet, so we store and re-deliver in FTL or LTL on our own trucks, from the yard the pallets are already sitting in.
The rest of what we do
It is rarely just one.
A container that is destuffed has to be stored, picked and delivered. All of it happens on our site, on our fleet.
