Glasswells has been offering companies and individuals tailor-made storage services since 1946. The recent completion of a ten week project; the installation of a new me, has vastly increased storage capacity in the Kempson Way Warehouse.
The new metal frame mezzanine has been installed at the front of the warehouse, making use of previously vacant space above the loading bays, and has created an additional 9,000sqft of storage space for customers who use the archiving service. The project, which began in November last year, was completed in January with fire proofing to the structure, painting and the installation of electrics.
The new floor holds 230 storage containers, each holding approximately 100 archive boxes over two levels, allowing Glasswells’ customers easier access to their containers. The intention for these containers is two-fold, firstly, they are offered to Companies who have a requirement for document archiving space. In addition to archiving, the service also includes document retrieval and delivery and confidential shredding.
Secondly, containers can be hired by families or individuals who have temporary or longer term domestic storage needs e.g. when they are moving house, but the containers can be adapted for any form of storage in the future.
Mr Glasswell said that:
“the investment of £250,000 into the project will help us to target what we know is a growing market in Bury St Edmunds, as well as freeing up some floor space, which can be used to store larger items for new customers. Another plus is that new and existing customers of our storage facilities will now be able to access their storage boxes without prior appointment during opening hours.”
A new Storage Website has been launched in conjunction with the opening of the mezzanine , to help promote this thriving, but lesser known side of the Glasswells’ business. The website: www.glasswellsstorage.co.uk gives you an idea of the services on offer, but you do need to see for yourself the full scope of the facilities available. Please phone the Storage Team on: 01284 748762 to make an appointment; they will be very willing to show you round.
