Why Storage Isn’t Just About Space
Many businesses think of warehousing as simply where the stock goes In reality, a good logistics warehouse is a strategic asset a key part of your supply chain that can impact everything from customer satisfaction to operational efficiency.
At Logistics North East, we understand that storage isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we’ve invested in a modern 150,000 sq ft facility built to support businesses of all sizes, with safety, flexibility, and performance at the core.
Key Features to Look For
When choosing a storage provider, here’s what really matters:
1. Clean, Organised Layout
Cluttered or disorganised warehouses slow down operations and increase the risk of damage or loss. Look for clearly labelled areas, proper racking, and defined walkways and zones.
2. Security Measures
Your stock is valuable. A reliable warehouse should have monitored CCTV, access control systems, alarmed entry points, and secure fencing plus trained staff who know what to do if something goes wrong.
3. Fire & Safety Compliance
From sprinkler systems to fire exits and equipment, every warehouse should meet or exceed current UK safety regulations. Ask about inspections, risk assessments, and staff training.
4. Flexibility for Your Growth
Storage needs can change fast. Whether you’re a retailer with seasonal peaks or a manufacturer expanding product lines, choose a facility that can scale with you offering short-term options, dedicated bays, or complete inventory management as needed.
5. Integrated Services
If you need more than just storage, ask about additional services like pick and pack, e-commerce fulfilment, or returns handling. A warehouse that integrates with your business systems (e.g., for live stock tracking) can help streamline operations and cut costs.
