Halls of Durham
Janitorial supply company Halls of Durham has been storing its paper and cleaning products at Big Yellow Self Storage’s partner Armadillo in the North East for the past eight years. The company supplies its products to schools, nurseries and businesses across the North East of England, and Armadillo Self Storage plays an imperative role in the day-to-day running of the business.
Having all of its products in one space allows for maximum efficiency in organising and sending out its orders. The dust-free environment in the storage spaces at Armadillo allow the supplies to be kept in pristine condition, ready to be delivered to customers.
Not only do Halls of Durham utilise the storage facilities at Armadillo, it also operates out of one of the flexible offices on-site. Each modern and spacious office has pre-existing phone lines and broadband, as well as kitchen and bathroom facilities, meaning that Halls of Durham only pay one monthly bill for these services. The ability to rent office space at Armadillo means that the Halls of Durham staff are on-site to organise the supplies and ensure the business runs smoothly.
Steve Hands, Director of Halls of Durham, said: “We’re a small company, made up of two people, but the brilliant staff at Armadillo means that the team feels much larger. The team are able to accept incoming orders on our behalf, and allows us to make deliveries and deal with our customers. The day-to-day running of the company would be much trickier if we didn’t have the services and support on offer at Armadillo.”
As Halls of Durham supply to businesses all over the North East of England, the easily accessible location and the transport links around Armadillo are a huge benefit to the business, and improve the efficiency of transporting its products to different areas. Steve added: “We have customers in Sunderland, Teesside, Newcastle and beyond, so being able to get deliveries sent out quickly and without delays means that we are usually able to turn around orders on the same day as they are made.”
