#WheresClare's first Around the Warehouses in 80 Visits stop in July was to Aztek Logistics Ltd's carbon neutral warehouse which is powered by rooftop solar panels. Read more about the visit below: #TheYearOfWarehousing #YOW2024
Chief Executive at UK Warehousing Association | The Voice of Warehousing | We talk about warehousing, raise standards, build community and help our 1,000 member companies
Warehouse Visit number 5️⃣3️⃣ of 8️⃣0️⃣ completed ✅️ At Aztek Logistics Ltd everything is so "on brand" that even their Linde Material Handling UK forklift trucks are blue 💙😲 After moving to this site in Letchworth in 2008, they expanded from transport-only 🚚 into warehousing and have since diversified into self-storage too 📈 The range of goods includes pasta and tomatoes 🍅 😋 so BRCGS accreditation is critical. There are also industrial clients, with heavy weights ⚖️ (for windows) and chains ⛓️ (for MHE). Thank you to Stuart Charter and Duncan Pannell for all your ongoing support for UK Warehousing Association and for organising this valuable visit 😊
