Last month, our 7 North team came together over sweet treats and a brew in the name of celebrating two mega milestones that are redefining how our Warehouse team operates.
After months of hard work, the Warehouse team have accomplished not just one, but two mega milestones: moving into a single warehouse and completing a brand-new mezzanine level! Here’s a look behind-the-scenes at what was involved in the process and what these changes mean for our team, our operations, and our customers.
A Warehouse Team Under One Roof
One of the biggest changes we’ve made is moving our operations into a single warehouse. Before this, we managed stock across two locations, which brought its own challenges and slowed down processes. Transitioning to a single space has been a massive undertaking, and involved big jobs like clearing out the old warehouse, moving all stock across (one transit van trip at a time!), disassembling and reassembling racking, setting up a new packing station, to name but a few.
Now, with everyone under one roof, communication is smoother, processes are quicker, and the overall efficiency has skyrocketed. No more scooting between sites or hunting down misplaced items - everything we need is now in one place!
Introducing Our New Mezzanine Level
Our second major milestone is the completion of a long-anticipated mezzanine level! This dedicated level is perfect for housing smaller items like laces, armbands, and studs - products that used to take up precious room on the main floor. With these items now stored safely on the mezzanine, we’ve freed up valuable floor space below, giving the team more room to work with larger stock and improving the overall flow of the warehouse.
A Guided Site Tour
Once we'd devoured our sweet treats (it didn't take us long!), we headed out on a site tour led by Warehouse Manager Matthew and Director Lizzie. This tour gave our Office team a chance to see the changes in action, appreciate the impressive scale of the move, and ask any burning questions.
As we walked between the towering racking and through the super organised aisles, our Office team were able to get a feel for the scale of the move and appreciate the hard work that went into achieving these milestones.
Massive well done Warehouse team!
