Why Hiring Removalists For An Office Relocation Promotes The Health And Wellbeing Of Employees

An office relocation is a big undertaking for any business. When it does occur, that business has two options: to either try and do the whole move themselves using their staff or to hire removalists. Of those two choices, we unreservedly recommend using removalists for several reasons, not least because it benefits the health and well-being of the business's staff.

On first consideration, there might not seem to be much of a correlation between staff well-being and whether or not removalists are used to facilitate an office relocation. However, if you read on, we will outline essential ways removalists assisting with an office relocation benefit a company's staff, particularly their health.

Less Stress And Anxiety

When discussing health, a mistake that is often made is the assumption that it is physical health that is the focus. However, everyone should be aware, including employers, of the importance of mental health too. Indeed, the source of many physical complaints can often be found to be an individual having severe mental health issues such as depression or extreme anxiety.

This has to do with office relocation because, for many staff, it can be a stressful event within their working life. If you were to add the stress for those staff in having to play a significant role in organising and carrying out the relocation, then anxiety levels for those employees are bound to rise. Read More

10 Businesses That Can Thrive Thanks To A Commercial Storage Unit

Most people likely assume a business can only operate from home, an office or other premises. However, it is also the case that a business can be partly run from a storage facility.

We are not talking about someone setting up an office in a storage unit, although we dare say it has been tried.

Instead, we are talking about businesses that can use one or more storage units to benefit their business by providing a cost-effective means of storing equipment, inventory, tools, and other items associated with running that business. Here are ten such businesses and why storage units can help them thrive.

eBay/Amazon Sellers: Whether selling on eBay or Amazon, a commercial storage unit can provide a secure location to store inventory. By storing inventory in a storage unit, sellers can prepare orders and ship them with ease. Also, with 24/7 access, they can receive, retrieve, and prep inventory whenever needed.

Independent E-commerce Retailers: A commercial storage unit provides a convenient location to store products, pack and prepare orders, and ship them directly from the storage unit. With several storage options, including climate-controlled units, many products can be stored optimally while saving money on rent and other overheads. Read More

How Technology And Innovation Are Enhancing Commercial Storage Services

For those that have never had any need to use commercial storage services, their idea of what they might be is thinking that they are as basic as a locker with a key or a container with a padlock.

Whilst both of those might indeed be used in some storage facilities, what is more likely to be the case today is storage companies utilising the latest technology.

Commercial storage has advanced considerably over the years, with technology and innovation playing a significant role in shaping the industry. From automated storage solutions to climate-controlled units, there are numerous emerging services and facilities in commercial storage that are transforming the way businesses and individuals store their possessions.

To highlight how this is so, we are going explore some of the latest technological and innovative developments that you are likely to find whenever you use your local commercial storage facility.

Automated Storage And Retrieval Systems

Time Factors To Consider When Deciding When To Move Home

One point that should be more obvious than it is is that people move home almost every day of the year, which means removalists very rarely have time to put their feet up and relax for a day or two, let alone a whole week. Many factors will influence when someone moves home, and it will often be the case that matters beyond their control dictate the timing.

For example, the timing of a job relocation and the necessary home move may be down to the employer's choosing. The time it takes the bank to agree on a mortgage is another. Or it could be the landlord whose apartment you will rent wishes to refurbish, delaying the date for moving in. Add to these any one of hundreds of other matters that could influence when a home move takes place.

Of course, the timing of your home move may be entirely in your hands, so you can choose the date that suits you. However, that date should not be arrived at by throwing a dart at a wall calendar. Matters such as hiring removalists and their availability will be one to cover, and there are other timing factors that you should consider, such as those we have highlighted below. Read More

The Uses And Benefits Of Climate-Controlled Storage

Consider using a commercial storage facility to store valuable or delicate possessions. In that case, it is important to think about the conditions in which they will be stored and exposed to extreme temperatures, humidity, and moisture can all harm several item types such as electronics, wooden furniture, musical instruments, artwork, documents, and fabrics.

This is why climate-controlled storage has become an increasingly popular and necessary option for anyone wanting to preserve their belongings in optimal condition. If you read on, we will explore the benefits and uses of climate-controlled storage units and why they could be the right option for your storage needs.

Climate-Controlled Storage Explained

Climate-controlled storage space for rent is storage that maintains constant temperature and humidity levels. This is achieved through heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems that regulate the temperature and humidity levels within the storage unit.

The ideal temperature range for climate-controlled storage is between 13 and 27 degrees Centigrade, while the humidity level is between 30 and 50 per cent. This means that climate-controlled storage units can protect against extreme temperature fluctuations, moisture, and humidity, which can all cause damage to stored items. Read More
