Early 2016 looks likely to be remembered for the heavy rains and the resulting floods covering great swathes of the country as we retuned to work.

Here’s to the valiant warehousing and logistics people who have helped deliver materials for the relief effort, and everyone who has fought their way through to keep our supply chains moving.

Our exclusive features are here to inspire you to do the best possible job all year round.

Keep the elements out of your warehouse with ‘Doors & Curtains,’ including industrial doors, curtains and roller shutters. Lighten the winter gloom with ‘Warehouse Lighting,’ covering smart lighting solutions, LED, energyefficient, long-life and sensoractivated systems. And raise your operations to new heights in every sense with ‘Lifting Gears and Cranes,’ taking in scissor lifts, heavy duty cranes and working platforms.

As our front page story bears out, loading bays in warehousing operations need to maintain the highest possible efficiency and safety standards.

A loading bay should continue to be economic in its operation and stringent in its safety levels throughout its lifetime. The best way to ensure this balance is to work with a reliable supplier like Sara LBS, combining quality products, expertise and advice throughout specification, installation and operation.

Passing goods through the business efficiently is the main monetary concern when specifying a loading bay system.

Wrongly positioning the bay, incorrectly specifying the application and not operating reliably can increase costs massively. With the support of engineers who can impart key knowledge of the products and their safe operation, end users can be sure in the knowledge that their loading solutions will meet the safe efficiency levels a business demands.

Going back to the flood story, it’s been reported that the Government has ignored the Environment Agency’s warnings in recent years about floodwater management and river dredging. Had the Government taken action early on, the scale of the recent floods might have been reduced.

Meanwhile, warehousing and logistics people around Britain are expected to deliver the goods in all conditions, come rain or shine. Right now many of you are also having to cope with the aftermath of the recent floods, in the form of standing water and damaged surfaces on our roads and in our industrial parks. Here’s to you all!
