Storage Options at our Essex Warehouse:

Ambient Pallet Storage - Ideal for bagged or boxed non-perishable goods, ambient pallet storage maintains stable temperature and humidity levels, ensuring product integrity without the need for refrigeration or climate control.

Bulk Bag Storage - We store bulk bags containing raw food ingredients at our warehousing facilities across the UK and Europe. Depending on the location, these bags can be stored either on floor pallets or in racking systems.

Temperature-Controlled Storage - Our temperature-controlled storage is kept at 10°C to protect perishable goods like dried fruit, nuts, and some organic products. Items are stored off the floor to improve air circulation and reduce the risk of contamination
