Edwards is on the verge of expanding its storage facilities with plans to build a new 4,000-pallet cold store on-site. This will take its total capacity to 14,000 pallets and in turn create more jobs.
The existing storage facility was recently upgraded with a new LED lighting system to reduce its carbon footprint and save energy costs.
The facility operates a fully integrated warehouse management system and was recently nominated for the UKWA (United Kingdom Warehousing Association) Warehouse Team of the Year award.
The company is also installing a new temperature control system that will allow warehouse manager Leigh Brown to view messages sent direct to his mobile phone, alerting him to any temperature fluctuations.
The current storage temperature range is three chambers at 7° to 9° Celsius and one chamber at 2° to 5° Celsius.
This modern multi-temperature storage facility meets all current EEC food regulations, and is extremely clean, well-organised and easily accessible.
Edwards Transport is a member of UKWA and holds BRC Accreditation in Storage & Distribution.
