Moving and expanding

This weekend and two weekends ago we moved another factory in to join ours. Just some notes for next time we need to do this:
- 7-1/2 tonner OK for up to 100 miles, thereafter go for 20+ tonners
- forks both ends
- journeys per day: 1, 2, 2, 3
- pallets per journey = 10
- pallet equivalents = 80
We've been preparing for this for a few months now but at the moment our factory still looks like a tip. Unfortunately our technicians are still new, and one is off sick, so getting organised is a real back breaker. But at least we are controlling the pace of this ourselves and so have been able to keep an almost uninterupted flow of goods to customers (unlike the phones which are still causing us real commercial problems).

If in the Bracknell area I recommend BTC for vehicle rentals. Very straightforward people, and cheap and reliable. We've used them for almost two years now. Our neigbours at Infinicar were also doing a workshop move this weekend and used them too.

We got the lighting up in our warehouse today, and ordered pallet racking - JW Whittle have found us some second hand stuff that suits our needs. We couldn't get the pallet racking in first which would have been the preferred solution.
