a more pivotal time for the warehousing
industry as it was revealed that warehouses
in the UK are nearing capacity with around
75% of UK Warehousing Association
(UKWA) members saying they were unable
to take on new business. The survey by the
UKWA pointed to the shortage of space

flooring could enable some of the
warehouse owners to create additional
space above their existing operation,
temporarily enabling them to scale up
and down to meet demands. SMARTPLY

opens the door to food produce storage,
increasing flexibility of warehouses across
the industry.
