The rise in e-commerce orders, driven by the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns, has meant an increased number of returns. With greater demand for fulfilment there is a considerable desire for mezzanine floor solutions, according to our warehouse flooring feature.

Logistics operators have been busier than ever over the last year, due to the Covid-related rise in online shopping, and they are likely to busy for the foreseeable future, our doors and curtains feature reports. With their sites in continuous operation, it is imperative to maintain safety and efficiency. To keep doors in a decent condition and maximise their performance, they need to be serviced regularly.
