Warehousing is more than a place to keep your stuff. Unlike pure storage, where goods simply sit until you need them, our warehousing services actively manage your inventory. Covering everything from receiving and storing it to controlling stock levels and preparing it for onward delivery.
It’s the difference between a space you rent and a partner who keeps your supply chain moving. We handle the day-to-day, so your team can focus on running and growing the business.
What can you store at FDC?
Our facilities suit a wide range of businesses and goods, including:
- Retail and high-street stock
- E-commerce inventory ready for pick, pack and dispatch
- Manufacturing components, raw materials and finished goods
- Palletised goods of all volumes, from a handful of pallets to full contract storage
- Seasonal stock that needs to flex up and down through the year
Not sure whether your goods are a fit for us? Speak to our team, and we’ll advise on the right solution – including any items that may require specialist handling.
The benefits of outsourcing your warehousing
Handing over your warehousing needs to a dedicated partner does more than just free up space. It gives you:
- Scalability on demand – expand or contract your footprint as your business shifts, without being locked into a certain facility.
- No tied-up capital – avoid the cost of buying, leasing, staffing and running your own warehouse.
- More time for your team – let our specialists manage inventory, replenish and dispatch while you focus on your core business.
- Lower shipping costs – our central location and strong transport links help you reach customers nationwide for less.
- Year-round availability – keep products in stock and ready to ship, even through seasonal peaks.
Why 40+ years of warehousing experience matters
We’ve spent over four decades refining how we store, manage and move stock – and that experience is clear for all to see in the reliability our customers depend on. Our team has the skills, systems and can-do attitude to handle all your requirements and consistently exceed your expectations.
Our integration capabilities mean your existing systems can link directly with our processes for efficient picking, stock control and distribution. And because location is everything in logistics, we operate from the Preston area with direct access to the M6, M65 and M61 – offering excellent national links that make it easy and cost-effective to send goods across the UK.
When it comes to onward delivery, our in-house haulage services keep your goods moving without the need for a separate provider. And if you need full pick, pack and dispatch, our fulfilment services take care of getting orders to your customers.
