Kite Packaging was founded from scratch in 2001 with a unique vision – To be the premier packaging supplier in the UK with a philosophy of employee-ownership.
At Kite they believe that “customer satisfaction matters so much more when you own the business”, and so, from the moment Kite Packaging was founded, they established it as an employee owned business so that every single employee could share in the benefits that come from giving great customer service.
Spaceway have a long standing working relationship with Kite Packaging having worked with them all around the country for many years. Due to their ongoing expansion, they found themselves in need of a significantly larger building to accommodate their growing operations.
Naturally, they turned to us once again for our expertise, commissioning us to manage a comprehensive design and build project. We undertook the role of the main contractor, overseeing the complete fitout of both a warehouse and an office facility.
This ambitious project was scheduled to be completed within a three-month timeframe. Our work included several key components:
High Bay Narrow Aisle Pallet Racking Installation:
To optimise storage capacity in the new warehouse, we installed high bay narrow aisle pallet racking. This solution allows for maximum use of vertical space, significantly increasing storage density and efficiency.
Comprehensive Office Design and Build:
We developed a full office design tailored to Kite Packaging's specific needs. Our team constructed a modern, functional office space that supports productivity and provides a comfortable working environment for employees.
Mechanical and Electrical Services:
Our scope of work included the installation of all necessary mechanical and electrical systems throughout the building. This involved setting up efficient HVAC systems, advanced electrical wiring, and other essential infrastructure to ensure the facility’s operational efficiency.
State-of-the-Art High Bay LED Lighting:
Recognising the importance of effective lighting, especially in a warehouse setting, we installed state-of-the-art high bay LED lighting. This advanced lighting system not only enhances visibility and safety but also contributes to energy efficiency, reducing operational costs over time.
By the end of the three months, we had successfully transformed the space into a state-of-the-art facility that met all of Kite Packaging’s requirements. Our ability to deliver a comprehensive, high-quality solution, from design through to build and fitout, reinforced their decision to partner with us again.
The project was executed with remarkable efficiency, despite being under significant time constraints. Kite Packaging faced a strict deadline to vacate their existing building, necessitating an expedited timeline for the new facility’s completion. This urgency required us to accelerate our processes and ensure the entire design and build project was finished within just three months.
Given the substantial scale of the project, completing it within such a short period was an impressive feat. Our team worked diligently to coordinate all aspects of the fitout, maintaining a seamless workflow to meet the tight deadline. The successful completion of this expansive project within the constrained timeframe demonstrated our capability to deliver high-quality results under pressure. The swift execution ensured that Kite Packaging could transition smoothly into their new, larger premises without any operational disruptions.
Kite Packaging now boasts a state-of-the-art facility that significantly enhances their operational capabilities. The new warehouse offers storage for over 5,000 pallet spaces, providing ample room to accommodate their growing inventory and streamline logistics. This advanced storage solution ensures efficient organisation and easy access to products, thereby improving overall operational efficiency.
In addition to the expansive warehouse, the facility includes a modern office environment designed to foster productivity and collaboration. The new office space features ergonomic workstations, meeting rooms equipped with the latest technology, and flexible work areas that cater to various working styles. These enhancements create a comfortable and conducive environment for employees, promoting both individual and team performance.
Furthermore, the facility is equipped with comprehensive welfare amenities to support the well-being of all staff members. These include fully-equipped break rooms, kitchen facilities, and comfortable lounge areas, providing spaces for relaxation and social interaction. The inclusion of these welfare facilities underscores Kite Packaging’s commitment to employee satisfaction and well-being, ensuring that their team has a supportive and enjoyable workplace.
