Earning more customers and raising your profile is the dream of any budding business. But, sometimes, growth comes at a cost.
The added pressures can be too much for small teams to handle, especially when increasing inventory figures come into play.
Pretty soon, storage issues can cripple a rising business under the weight of its own success, leading to lost or damaged items, plummeting productivity or, even worse, poor customer reviews.
That’s why growing businesses seeking storage in Preston, the wider North West and across the UK, shouldn’t rely on inadequate self-storage options – they should turn to FDC Holdings for warehouse storage solutions.
Our 300,000+ sq ft storage facility in Preston is the ideal warehouse space to keep large inventory quantities, before they’re ready to be shipped out to customers.
Does this sound like the answer to your prayers? Speak to the FDC Holdings team today, or keep reading to learn more about why a storage warehouse could be the saviour you’ve been looking for.
How commercial storage space can turn your business around
Better security
The bigger a business grows, the more eyes it has on its products – and this isn’t always a good thing.
Enterprises that start small and begin to struggle with inadequate storage space on-site become prime targets for local thieves.
If you have too much stock crammed into a small space, and your security efforts are lacking, you’re putting yourself at serious risk. And with theft costing small businesses £14,000 on average, it’s a loss you can do without.
Luckily, FDC Holdings is here to help.
Our professional storage facility is home to round-the-clock security, meaning your goods will remain firmly under lock and key until you come to collect them. Unlike standard storage units, or even some commercial storage units, we’re home to vast available storage space that’s ideal for bulk storage, so you’ll never need to compromise on space.
Plus, by keeping your valuable items away from business HQ, you’ll be drawing less attention to yourself – it’s a win-win.
Reduced inventory waste
Drops, scrapes, scratches, cracks and full-on breakages are common when handling business goods.
Accidents happen. But they’re far more likely to happen when your staff are pushed to the limit, or begin struggling with suitable storage options.
The result? Unsellable inventory that costs your business hard-earned cash. But you won’t have this issue with FDC Holdings.
Our experienced team is trained to handle business goods with the utmost care, whatever it is you sell. By cutting down on wasted inventory, you can funnel more cash into other areas of the business to push yourself onward to greater success.
Improved safety
Staff safety should be paramount in any business. But safety standards can easily slip due to improper storage practices.
With retail employees suffering a higher-than-average injury rate at work, it’s safe to assume many of these injuries stem from the mishandling or unsuitable storage of goods. And the last thing you need is potential legal troubles on your hands as a result.
But by handing your enterprise inventory over to FDC Holdings, you won’t need to worry about this. All the responsibility lies with us and our team, so your team can steer clear of stock-related mishaps.
Raised productivity
Chances are, if you’re a small business on the rise, you don’t have a full dedicated storage team dealing with customer orders.
Front-of-house staff or even friends and relatives may chip in to help you properly store your inventory. But this isn’t a smart plan in the long run.
For one, your existing staff should be working hard on their other duties, which could lapse if they spend too much time focusing solely on stock. Eventually, this loss of productivity will leak into other areas of your business, maybe even without you knowing.
That’s why choosing a full-time third-party storage provider, like FDC Holdings, makes so much sense.
It’s our job to handle and store your items correctly and safely, saving your team time and effort that can be injected back into business success.
Avoid reputational damage
There’s nothing worse than a slew of poor customer reviews making new customers turn elsewhere.
And there’s nothing that angers customers more than not receiving their goods on time, or receiving them in poor condition: both of which can be symptoms of poor storage practices.
No matter how much your business may have grown, all it takes is a few instances like these to bring all that success crashing down.
FDC Holdings can help you avoid this by storing your items properly, as well as assisting you with inventory management, so you’ll always know how many pieces of stock you have at any given time.
Then, all you need to do is collect them to ship them out, or take advantage of our world-class fulfillment services and let us do all the hard work for you. It’s that simple.
