WAREHOUSING, HANDLING
their warehousing to accommodate those peaks. However, this inevitably means they are paying top dollar for space that often is not really being used but for which they are still paying. This approach is wasteful, both from a financial and an environmental perspective. And then there are needs that arise directly from the climate agenda. In many business models, the overall carbon footprint can be mitigated by holding more stock close to market. While that may imply many more storage/warehouse areas, on a scale it does not equate to a whole shed.
Many businesses may be trialling new ranges or new markets and require the facilities to support a ‘toe in the water’. And many companies are experimenting with different strategies, and balances between strategies, where they are not necessarily in a suitable position to commit to a long-term lease on a new build shed, even if that were desirable. Fortunately, Bis Henderson Space exists largely to marry up these potential partners – the companies that are sitting on unrealised space assets, and the businesses that need temporary, short-term, seasonal or experimental storage or fulfilment facilities. Often, our ‘suppliers’ of excess space can
offer a fully serviced site where clients can tap into the existing trained staff, IT systems and so on, and we always try to spot the synergies. For our space providers, the deals we broker, which might range from a single six-month contract to a regular seasonal arrangement, can provide an unexpected source of income and volume- related operational efficiencies. For our space- hungry clients, we can source operational space that can help grow the business without climate change guilt.
It is not realistic to suppose that our economy can be sustained without some degree of new build warehousing, but it surely makes sound environmental thinking to make the best possible use of the assets we have before we commit to ever more carbon- intensive projects.
At Bis Henderson Space, we offer unique, low risk, high flexibility solutions that can continually adapt to changing business needs, including a transition to a more eco and sustainable solution.
