Ambient and Temperature Controlled Storage

Undoubtedly, cleanliness is the key to successful storage, hence our huge investment in effective hygiene and pest control.

Our in-house quality control team, led by Dr Andrew Sage, not only continually monitors the warehouse space and incoming consignments but also advises on the optimum conditions – defined by temperature and humidity – for the preservation of freshness and quality.

We use an industry-leading Pest Control Service to minimise animal infiltration and utilise electric fork-lifts to reduce air pollution. Infestation, cross contamination and tainting are avoided through early detection, the provision of discrete areas for distinct commodities, the availability of extensive chilled space – particularly for organic produce – as well as instant access to a fumigation chamber.

Security

Providing the perfect physical environment is just one aspect of our service. Such is the value of most soft commodities - dates, dried apricots, mango pulp, cashews, walnuts, pine nuts to name but a few, so we have deliberately developed our warehouses on a rural site in a traditionally low-crime area. We have 24-hour security covering every corner of the facility.

We hand-pick and train largely mature staff who respect the value of the goods that they have to handle. It's an ethos shared by our transport partners, who can arrange both inward and outward haulage, and work with us to maintain the integrity of all loads from initial pick-up to final delivery.
