Doubling down on stock with major warehouse expansion
» ENTRANCE COMPOSITE DOOR Solutions is expanding its Nottingham headquarters with a new 6,000 square foot warehousing facility, bringing its total site footprint to 22,000 square feet.
The expansion will significantly increase stock holding capacity and enlarge the company’ s CNC machining department, directly addressing the lead time and availability pressures that trade installers face during peak demand periods.
The investment forms part of a wider programme of site development that has already exceeded £ 1.6 million, with a further £ 1 million earmarked for continued growth.
“ For trade installers, stock availability is not a nice-to-have – it is the difference between keeping a project on track and having to manage disappointed homeowners and slipping schedules,” says Entrance CDS Managing Director Gregory Kelly.
“ Our expansion has been planned with that reality squarely in mind.
“ The increased warehousing will allow us to hold substantially higher volumes of finished and semi-finished product, meaning shorter lead times on standard orders and greater resilience when demand spikes.“ The expanded CNC machining department will also boost our capacity to process stock-held product for bespoke specifications without creating bottlenecks.”
The expansion reflects Entrance CDS’ broader commitment to supporting the growth ambitions of its installer network. As composite door sales continue to strengthen across the UK residential market, installers need supply partners who can scale with them rather than become a constraint.
“ We’ re not just adding square footage for the sake of it,” Gregory added.“ This is about making room for further product development as well. We want to give installers access to a wider range, backed by stock they can actually get hold of. The days of eightand ten-week lead times should be behind us, and we’ re putting our money where our mouth is to make sure that’ s the case.”
