The flexible warehouse ( and flexible warehouse supplier !)

By Shaun Stephens , UK Sales Manager , Smart-Space
You ’ d be forgiven for purely thinking ‘ storage ’ when you think of warehousing but at Smart-Space we supply warehouses for all kinds of reasons . It is interesting that we can supply an instant building for storage and then , next time we visit , it might have become a workshop ! Sometimes , it has even been relocated to a new part of the client site . But that ’ s the beauty of a flexible warehouse , making sure it can change in line with your needs .
Changing the purpose of your Smart-Space building is one thing but we also incorporate flexibility into our contracts . “ Why would you tie someone up in a contract they can ’ t change , terminate or extend ?” asks Shaun Stephens , Smart-Space ’ s UK Sales Manager . To reflect this approach , you can hire or purchase – or you can change your mind and purchase part-way through your agreement . You can off-hire at any
time at all – unheard of generally – with just a week ’ s notice . The team can also , quite easily , extend the size of the building .
“ Being flexible is all-encompassing ” explained Shaun . “ It ’ s not just about the building itself but it ’ s also very much to do with the terms of the agreement and the supplier you ’ re working with . Flexibility has to be a 360 approach in our opinion .”
Making the most of the space is really important too . The range of Maxi-Space buildings offers a vast , uninterrupted floor space which is ideal for warehousing or for accommodating multiple applications under one roof . The space can be fully utilised , from floor to the eaves , with maximum ability to manoeuvre fork-lifts and other equipment .
No one really knows what the future holds and so , being able to flex , adapt and react is vital . For many Smart-Space clients , it is this flexibility that means their business can continue in the right direction , managing unexpected challenges , with very little notice .
