A Leeds-based designer, supplier and manufacturer of industrial storage systems has secured approval to expand its facility.
Warehouse Systems Limited (WSL) has received approval for plans to extend its warehouse space by more than 21,000 sq ft, which will enable it to expand its Quick Stock range.
The business previously relocated its operation in October 2019 to its current two-acre site at Brancepeth Place, Leeds where the company now plans to build its new distribution warehouse.
The new building, which will be utilised for vital component storage, will extend from the existing manufacturing hub, offices and warehouse.
Born of the pandemic and Brexit, a ruptured supply chain prompted WSL to utilise its existing on-site warehouse to stock limited racking components in 2020. The warehoused components helped WSL to build some supply chain resilience and enabled them to complete these projects without interruption or unexpected delays.
With the additional warehouse space, WSL will have the capacity to stock pallet racking and shelving components of all types and in high volumes.
Neville Proctor, Chief Executive at Warehouse Systems Limited, said: “Along with our Mezzanine floor manufacturing, this additional space allows WSL to meet the demanding market conditions of fragile supply chains and escalating prices; giving our customers assurance so they can press on with their projects knowing they can be confident of costs and schedules.
“Recent projects, such as fitting out a new warehouse with 60,000 pallet locations of pallet racking along with a 40,000 sq ft mezzanine, have given us confidence to push on with our own expansion plans.
“Now in our 34th year, this exciting development will cement our position as a leading supplier of Storage Systems in the UK.”
