Warehousing convenience

Convenience food manufacturer, Symington's, has erected a new 3000m2 temporary warehouse from Spaciotempo to help support its rapid growth strategy.

Symington's is one of Spaciotempo's most loyal customers and its new building, which provides room for 2700 pallets of finished goods, has been placed behind another temporary warehouse on site. Drawn from Spaciotempo's TempAstor range, the unit has been fitted with radar speed doors, which open automatically when a forklift truck approaches, enabling fast and efficient access.

It took Spaciotempo a matter of weeks to erect the building and James Bridson, group warehouse and distribution manager at Symington's, said that the ability to access extra storage space quickly on the same site makes installing temporary warehousing a key tactic during the expansion process.

"In the long term, we will look at more permanent warehousing, but for the moment, and while we continue to grow, Spaciotempo's buildings are a perfect temporary fix," he says.
