Yearsley unveils impressive new coldstore extension at its Heywood HQ

23rd July 2013 2:25 pm

Frozen logistics specialist Yearsley has officially unveiled the first two phases of a three-part expansion at the company’s northern distribution centre in the form of a 100,000 sq ft coldstore.

According to a news report on the matter, the unit adds 28,000 pallet spaces to the 40,000 existing capacity, moving closer to the final target, namely a total of 450,000 sq ft and 80,000 pallet spaces at the Heywood site.

The new multimillion-pound hub was developed by Trafford-based Russells Construction and took 9 months to complete.

Managing director Harry Yearsley said: "This expansion is in direct response to demand from new customers for whom the North West is an ideal location. Our existing Heywood store was running near to capacity and this expansion will amount to a £20m investment in facilities for our customers and secure jobs for our employees.”

"It is part of our long term plan to consolidate stock in strategically located stores, helping us to increase efficiency, reduce carbon output and better meet the storage needs of manufacturing customers and the delivery requirements of retail and food service customers across the country."

Such an extensive new storage warehouse space also requires the implementation of a fast and reliable access control and time and attendance system, and this is exactly where Time & Attendance North West will prove its worth.

Our company provides complete multi-user, networked, multi site Time and Attendance, Access Control, Fire Roll Call and security systems including European Working Time Directive checking and reporting.

Moreover, it enables users to save the details of a large number of employees (up to 2000, to be precise), supports extensive shift management and payroll-related operations, the allocation of various pay bands, and much more.
