How Is Specialist Warehouse Storage Better For Businesses? 

Businesses often face challenges with managing inventory, seasonal stock, or large-scale equipment. Traditional office spaces or self-storage units might not suffice, especially when handling high-value items or extensive inventory. Here’s why warehouse storage facilities are the best option for businesses looking to securely and cost-effectively store their inventory.

Security is a top priority for any business storing high-value assets. Modern secure warehouse storage facilities like Wilkins Storage are equipped with advanced measures. This includes:

  • 24/7 state-of-the-art CCTV surveillance featuring over 50 day/night cameras.
  • Up-to-date and fully-functional alarm systems.
  • High-spec fire detection systems that link directly to emergency services for immediate callout. 
  • Fully-qualified, DBS enhanced, controlled access for full-time employees only.
