When the Westfield shopping complex in Shepherds Bush, London, first opened its doors in 2008 a fifth of its retailers weren’t ready to receive customers on opening day. Despite months of planning many had failed to complete their store outfits and stockroom shelving installations on time. Their number didn’t, however, include those supplied and outfitted by storage specialist Action Storage, whose expertise recently enabled yet another Westfield retailer to open its store on schedule.

The accessories retailer, located in the exclusive Luxury Village area, required an extensive installation of stockroom shelving. With space being a shop’s biggest asset, it was vital that the shelving arrangement maximised the available stockroom space. Utilising its free survey and design service, Action Storage was able to provide plans on the optimum shelving arrangement possible to ensure a high volume and wide variety of stock could be stored at all times.

Action Storage’s ability to maximise the available space was assisted by the versatility of its Supershelf™ shelving. Supershelf™ is a highly adjustable, bolt free shelving system that can be easily slotted together to suit the available space in any retail, stockroom or storage area. Modular accessories, including shelf dividers and plastic bins, can also be added for storing a wide variety of different sized items.

Along with maximising the available stockroom space, the Westfield retailer also had to ensure the Supershelf™ stockroom shelving was installed quickly so it could open its doors on schedule. Delivering and installing such a large order at a busy shopping complex could have caused problems for many suppliers. Action Storage, however, has its own in-house installation team with extensive experience in managing large installations.

In fact, 15 of Westfield ’s retailers used Action Storage’s dedicated installation team to complete their store outfits when the £1.7 billion complex first opened. Of those 15, every single installation was completed on time, enabling every store to welcome Westfield ’s 10,000 shoppers on opening day.

Thanks to the combination of its free survey and design service, versatile Supershelf™ stockroom shelving and experienced installation team, Action Storage was able to ensure the Westfield retailer was able to maximise its stockroom space and open on schedule.
