Spaceway south gives Stannah a lift

Stannah Lifts turned to the Spaceway Group to provide it with a totally integrated solution when needed to expand its storage area and refurbish its offices.

When Stannah Lifts , part of the Stannah Group, needed to expand its storage area and refurbish its offices in Stephenson Close, Andover it turned to the Spaceway Group to provide it with a totally integrated solution.

The continuation of a long-standing relationship between the two companies, Spaceway has provided Stannah with a more spacious and pleasant working environment that has helped improve efficiency and staff morale.

Stannah's facility at Stephenson Close, houses the company's UK and overseas stairlift distribution centre.

With orders increasing year on year and the offices looking old and tired, the company decided it needed to expand its storage area and update and increase the size of its office accommodation.

"We have a long history with Spaceway which has always provided us with excellent service", said Chris Ward, Distribution Manager at Stannah.

"When it came to finding a company to carry out the refurbishment, we immediately turned to Spaceway as the only company capable of providing us with a complete turnkey solution".

Stannah needed to create an additional 20% extra storage area as well as additional racking for picking and packing.

New offices needed to be created to accommodate personnel and Stannah also needed a canteen area, meeting room and training area.

Once Spaceway's design team had created and agreed with Stannah the optimum design for the area available, the necessary materials were ordered and work began.

The warehouse area was reconfigured and Spaceway installed some additional racking together with a Stannah goods lift and a Pickomat system for the storage and accessing of small and medium sized parts.

A 300 sq metre area was turned into offices, a locker room and canteen utilising Komfort Kameo 75 partitioning and suspended ceilings.

A meeting room was created with dividing doors and an additional storage area and offices for stores personnel formed also using Komfort partitioning.

Builder's work was carried out to create windows and air conditioning, ventilation fitted.

To complete the refurbishment of the ground floor, Spaceway fitted floor coverings, installed a Komfort storage wall and supplied all office furniture.

On the first floor, Spaceway created a training room so that Stannah could centralise all it's training in one area and also created a stores, spares and warranty area.

Once all structural work had been completed, Spaceway worked with Stannah's nominated site contractors to oversee the installation of all electrics and IT cabling.

"Spaceway's team once again pulled out all the stops to create an environment that is aesthetically pleasing and functional", concluded Chris Ward.

"We are absolutely delighted with the finished project".
