For 25 years Action Storage has been helping retailers, the public
sector, businesses, manufacturers and many other organisations to
maximise their storage space. Launched in April 1986, Action Storage
has grown from a team of 7 people into a market leader. It now
distributes shelving, racking, lockers and 4000 other storage
products to companies all over the world.
Action Storage was the brainchild of Tom Brialey, who continues to
drive the company forward as Managing Director to this day.
Utilising his experience in storage and materials handling, Tom and
his team launched Action Storage to sell on large parcels of second
hand racking and shelving in smaller consignments. As the company
and its customer base grew, it was clear that Action Storage needed
to expand its product range.
In 1995 Action Storage formed a partnership with Italian shelving
manufacturer Metalsistem to distribute its Super123 (now known as
Supershelf™) shelving system. Boltless and highly adjustable,
Supershelf™ can be customised to maximise the space in any storage
area. This versatility saw it become very popular with retailers for
use both in stockrooms and warehouses.
In the 1990s Action Storage further expanded its range to include
personal and staff lockers. This included its Atlas Economy Steel
Lockers, which are an especially cost effective option for schools.
Its sales of lockers grew rapidly, and by 2000 Action Storage’s
locker sales had matched those of shelving and racking.
Throughout the years Action Storage has continued to source the
latest, most innovative storage products. The eXtreme Plastic
Lockers® for example (for which Action Storage owns both the design
and tooling) is made from hardwearing polyethylene plastic. This
enables it to be stacked outdoors under cover without risk of it
rusting or deteriorating. It’s also highly resistant to vandalism,
making it a popular choice for schools wishing to save corridor
space. The eXtreme Plastic Locker® is exceptionally durable making
it perfect for use in harsh environments, such as in abattoirs and
on oil rigs.
There have been many challenging projects for Action Storage over
the years, in which it has had to deliver orders against the clock
and in difficult circumstances. One example is when it had to
install mobile shelving systems across 50 sites in 10 different EU
countries. Partnering this logistical challenge was the time frame,
with Action Storage having just 3 months to complete the entire
project. Despite language barriers, delivery issues and having to
work through the night, every installation was completed on time and
on budget.
Action Storage continues to be based in its home city of Milton
Keynes, a location which enables it to reach 80% of the working
population within 2.5 hours and to offer super fast delivery times.
Details of its 4000 products can be found on its website, where you
can also order its 180 page printed catalogue packed with storage
and handling systems for all commercial needs.
