CARPET EXPRESS's new depot at Glasgow Airport was opened last week by Topham Brinton, president of the British Carpet Manufacturers' Association.
The new site has 15,500sqft of warehousing with eight loading bays and replaces a smaller site nearby. Cost of the depot was put at £380,000.
In common with the company's other four warehouses, there is a much greater proportion of floor space to racking than in most stores, to allow fork lift trucks to move the 4m carpet rolls quickly.
Carpets normally stay in the warehouse for just 12 hours or one full day before they are either sent out on delivery or trunked south. Carpet Express has not so far moved into stockholding.
