Demand for additional warehousing space is fuelling the rise in the number of speculative builds of general warehouse and distribution hubs across the UK – and Heras is seeing growth in providing standard, off-the-shelf perimeter fencing and barrier entrance controls.
The company, which is Europe’s leading end-to-end supplier of permanent and mobile perimeter protection solutions, is working with landlords to offer a range of solutions to ensure speculative sites are secure until they find tenants for the spaces.
Heras is also seizing the opportunity to then work directly with tenants who take possession of warehouses on a more detailed statement of requirements for the overall security of the site. A statement of requirements typically covers items including levels of perimeter security, the access control within the warehouse and even the management of functions within the site – such as allocating bays for the fleet of vehicles loading and unloading on site.
Heras’s Head of Sales, Daniel Burnstein, said that the growth in speculative warehouse builds presents two levels of opportunity to demonstrate the company’s expertise.
“The first opportunity is working with developers who need perimeter fencing and barrier entrance controls installed to make a site secure,” said Mr Burnstein.
“The second opportunity is to then work with the tenant – which gives us the platform to showcase our full range of solutions as the experts in demarcation, entrance control, detection and integrated systems, as well as our ability to provide ongoing support and maintenance.
“We have worked on some very involved projects with, for example, some of the UK’s largest food and non-food retailers, so we understand the complexities and levels of security required – not only to keep a site secure but also to carefully control access to the different areas within a warehouse.”
