About the Client:
Established in 2015, Pep&Co is a British fashion retail brand which is now part of Poundland. The business opened its first store in the Newlands Shopping Centre in Kettering, Northamptonshire in July 2015 and was made famous by it’s rapid expansion plans, opening its first 50 stores in 50 days (averaging a store opening a day).
The Brief:
With such a rapid expansion there came the need to employ more staff across the business. This meant it quickly out grew its head office in Clarendon Road, Watford and needed to find larger offices. As part of this office move, the team required not only desk space, but a storage area to hold massive amounts of clothing stock and samples.
With such a large and varied inventory, this storage area needed to be carefully considered, high-density (to save as much space as possible) and adapted to the diverse items being stored.
To achieve this the PEP&Co team approached a number of specialist businesses, inviting them to examine the space, understand their requirements and suggest the types of solutions that would fit their needs.
The Solution:
After a comprehensive audit of the inventory and suggesting solutions that maximised the space, Rackline was awarded the contract and began the process of developing, manufacturing and installing the systems.
Rackline provided 85 bays of its Profile static shelving, of which 72 bays were mounted onto Multitrak mobile bases, 12 bays providing 92.40 linear metres for on shelf storage (large plastic boxes containing accessories and samples) and 158.40 linear metres provided hanging garment storage (everything from trousers and shirts to underwear and slippers).
The system was installed onto a raised access floor, so Rackline installed pedestals to support the tracks. This resulted in a flush finish to the floor ensuring no trip hazards in the aisles. The mobile units were even finished in Lime Green vinyl to match with the company brand colours.
