The Roasting Co

The Roasting Company upgrade their forklift truck fleet with another two electric Unicarriers

The largest family-owned processor of peanuts and tree nuts in the UK, processing circa 27,000mt per year from their state-of-the-art BRC AA rated factory in Heckington Lincolnshire continue to partner with Windsor Materials Handling to upgrade their 12-strong forklift truck fleet.

Working with our Sleaford branch since 2015, Windsor has proudly partnered with The Roasting Company to supply them with their ongoing materials handling equipment needs, providing them with a first-class product consultancy and ongoing maintenance support.

Offering industry leading processing rates can only be achieved if the forklift truck operation can support the workload and suit the environment that it is intended for. Windsor was appointed over eight years ago due to their ability to cope with the growing business demands of The Roasting Company and their infamous reputation for service and stability.

Sales manager, Danielle Neilson talks through some of the considerations The Roasting Company went through when selecting the right equipment for their operation.

“In a food production environment, it is important to be able to offer a range of equipment that is suitable for the job being undertaken. Currently there is a mixed fleet where LPGs run the outdoor operations and electric manage movement inside the warehouse.”

“Load capacities and speed of operation allowed for the switch so the important factors here were ensuring run times would suffice on a battery charge and that the dimensions of the trucks would fit the space that they are moving in without interruption.”

The fact that Windsor has a multi-brand product portfolio, we know that many customers we work with are looking for local dealers and service providers who can offer prompt support and maintenance to minimise downtime.

“One of the key reasons for using Windsor is their continuity of people within the branch – we have worked with Murray branch manager for almost nine years and Danielle has been our point of contact for over three now. Their approach to call-outs and customer service is what appeals to businesses like ours – the engineers are prompt on call-outs, persistent with their fixes and always reliable which can’t always be said for service providers” says warehouse manager, Kevin Massam.

True to our heritage, we have developed the experience and expertise to supply and maintain all manner of equipment – providing a true materials handling consultancy service. As well as superb advice, we also offer the highest levels of support and the best value for money, and to ensure that they are always close at hand, we have developed highly skilled teams of locally based, manufacturer trained engineers. It’s all part of our ‘Local Partnerships’ approach.

Commercial Scaffolding

Longstanding customer Commercial Scaffolding take delivery of new UN NL Series Lithium-Ion forklift truck in support of their transition to more sustainable operations

Based in Hull, Commercial Scaffolding Limited was formed February 1990 by Alan, Jean and Alex Lilley and over that time have built their customer base up at an impressive rate. 

Working on some of the region’s most significant scaffolding projects, they have a similar approach in how they do business as do Windsor – through developing relationships and creating partnerships and operating to the highest of standards. 

“Paul Williams – Windsor’s longest serving sales manager – has a tenacious approach to how he works with customers and Commercial Scaffolding Ltd have respected that attention since we first started working together in 1997 when we took delivery of our first Komatsu” 

“Conversations with Paul arose due to our recent investment into renewable energy sources, namely solar panels. We were fortunate enough to take advantage of the green funding available for SMEs through the local government initiative.” says Alan Lilley.

Paul presented the new range of lithium-ion powered forklifts, manufactured by UN Forklift, to Commercial Scaffolding in a move to transition from their IC equivalent. It was important that they invested into a truck that enabled a smooth transition for the operator as without doubt there is a change of habit required when choosing electric. 

The NL Series uses the same chassis as it’s IC counterpart so the operator is uncompromised. A full handover of the truck and charger demonstrated to the customer how to keep optimal run times throughout operational hours.

For traditional IC truck users, moving to lead-acid battery trucks is arguably a bigger change, as it involves battery maintenance. They must be refilled regularly with distilled water to function properly and stay healthy, which in turn brings added implication to health and safety procedures.

“Typically, switching to lithium is a change of mindset for a diesel counterbalance user,” says Paul. “Whereas you can get on a lithium UN truck and it will feel very similar in its setup – and we can adjust the programme settings so it operates like a hydrostat or like a traditional torque convertor IC truck which gives the operator a like-for-like drive making it a no-brainer for lower use yard work.”

With this equipment solution presented to the customer at a critical point in their movement towards becoming carbon neutral, Windsor were able to offer the right product for the job with no interruption to business. 

With a now reduced maintenance expenditure moving forward and cost savings made through the draw-down of electric via solar panels, along with the wider global environmental issues, it is clear to see why businesses are seeking for greener alternatives and with schemes in place to help businesses make the switch we are proud to be able to offer our customers a solution for any materials handling requirement.

Bring Cargo

Bring Cargo expedite fleet renewal in a move to transition their once entire IC fleet to electric 

Bring who is proudly positioned as one of the largest mail and logistics operators in the Nordic Region apply their progressive and developmental approach to their service offering placing them as one of the most forward-looking companies of their type in the world.

Materials handling is a critical element of their operational success and their local site in Immingham –  where they have access a fleet of over 450 trailers delivering across the UK, Europe & Scandinavia – has depended on local Windsor Materials Handling branch for 10 years. 

Brings latest investment has been into the replacement of their diesel-powered fleet of forklift trucks, with their electric Doosan counterparts which – after they took delivery of their first two trucks – was deemed a ‘no brainer’.

Managing director Bob Tutass says: “As a global business we are committed to efficient environmental solutions with a strategic goal in place that aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 40% by 2030.

“In recent years, therefore, as a group, we have implemented a number of measures to reduce our impact on the environment. This includes, among other things, a focus on environmentally-friendly vehicles and fuel, and over 1000 of our vehicles are electric, meaning eco-friendly postal deliveries.”

The operation at Bring has been reaping the benefits of renewable energy sources for almost a decade, with the installation of solar panels being the first 

Terminal manager Patrick Hewson: “With the rise in fuel duty that we saw last year, and the savings we’re seeing already with the replacement of our IC fleet for 8 electric Doosan’s we couldn’t be more delighted with our decision.”

“Our Windsor point of contact, Steve Austin, has been able to source the equipment we need to keep operations moving at a rate that exceeded our expectations. This has meant that we have been able to expedite our transition to electric from what we predicted to be around six years into just two.”

The investment has meant massive savings for this operation, fuel costs have more than halved and the electricity source is almost solely drawn down from the solar panels. Maintenance and ongoing service costs have dropped, tyre-wear has improved dramatically. 

There is a notable improvement to the indoor atmosphere that is cleaner and cooler, with the additional investment into a Nilfisk ride-on sweeper too – operators are now working within an environment which is much more comfortable.

“Not only have Bring seen significant savings on multiple levels, by opting to invest in the Fronius charger they will see an extended battery life from a guaranteed five years to more like seven on the usage the operation runs at;” says Steve Austin.

Through careful consultation around the operational requirements alongside the calculations made on cost savings, we have worked closely together to make sure that product met requirement which can only happen when customer and MHE supplier work in partnership. That coupled with two businesses that have a quick decision-making process means that solutions can be agreed and implemented at pace.

Mitie Technical Facilities Management Ltd

Mitie Technical Facilities Management Ltd choose UN NL Series in a move to further improve green credentials

Windsor Materials Handling Chelmsford see the UN NL Series Li-ion powered forklift delivered into Sky Studios, Elstree following a successful pitch to new customer Mitie Technical Facilities Management.

The newest product in our range met all of the green credentials needed to secure the deal – zero emissions alongside the ability to opportunity charge offering longer run times with maintenance support from a branch local to them made Windsor the supplier of choice.

The price point of the UN Forklift is competitively placed and is not dissimilar to that of an IC truck, but it is the total cost of ownership savings that are turning heads of our customers, not to mention that the cost of electricity is around 20% that of diesel.

Built on the rugged IC engine chassis with unrivalled derated lift capacities at height, comfort and ergonomics with floating cab makes this a sensible choice for those considering the switch from diesel to electric.

Sales Manager at the Chelmsford branch said: “The UN NL range of lithium counterbalance forklifts is a great replacement for diesel trucks. We’re delighted that we can offer customers a sustainable alternative to their materials handling IC fleet without them having to compromise on key features and working with Mitie on behalf of such a prestigious client is a huge opportunity for us at Windsor.”

“By being able to offer such wide range of products we are able to pitch solutions to customers that are right for their operation. That along with our service offering makes us unique and as conversations with customers are being driven more and more by the move to net zero, this new addition to our portfolio is an attractive proposition.”

Caunton Engineering

Caunton Engineering

Caunton Engineering is one of the UK’s leading fully automated structural steelwork contractors and a world leader in Just-In-Time manufacture. Designing, fabricating, painting and erecting structural steelwork for the construction industry, the Nottinghamshire business employs over 250 people and has annual turnover in excess of £64m.

Designing, fabricating, painting and erecting structural steelwork for the construction industry, the Nottinghamshire business employs over 250 people and has annual turnover in excess of £64m.

Over two thirds of Caunton’s projects are design and build, and the company has an impressive line-up of experienced structural engineers, most of whom are graduates or Chartered.

Supplying around 26,000 tonnes of steelwork annually, the company places great store in its ability to remain flexible, specialising in both primary and secondary steelwork, and covering the full gamut of services from designing and fabrication, painting and erecting.

Maintaining that flexibility means working with the right MHE partner. One that is able to support the business when needed and advise on new ways of working. Windsor has itself spent a great deal of time focussing on providing customers with exceptional service and support, something which Caunton can attest to.

“We’ve worked with Windsor for almost a decade,” says production director, Mark White, who has been with the company for over 25 years.

“We rely on their support to ensure we keep working. If a vital machine goes down, it can have a knock-on effect across the different parts of the business, so it’s important to know that we’ve got the response there. Good response times are critical.”

Tyres, service, maintenance and of course, new equipment is all part of Windsor’s remit. Multi-directional machines, powered pallet trucks, 5 tonne capacity counterbalance, access equipment, telehandlers and a £300K investment in a bespoke straddle carrier is proof of Caunton and Windsor’s partnership approach.

“Service and repair times are good and reasonable, but the help and advice on projects has been incredibly useful,” adds Mark. 

The latest additions to the fleet are three GX80L Baumann sideloaders, a machine known for its durability and high build quality, and an essential cog in the operation. Sideloaders are a proven way to handle long loads safely and productively, particularly over longer distances.

The Baumann sideloaders come complete with the award winning Archimedes outreach system, ensuring fine control for the operator. Hydraulic cylinders traditionally drive a sideloader outreach system (the method by which the forks reach out to the load and return it to the load bed) by applying pressure to opposing rollers that slide along their respective channels, in a pantograph-style mechanical linkage.

The new Baumann GX Series utilises the direct drive Archimedes screw to extend the fork carriage, whilst preventing horizontal movements and eliminating unnecessary stresses.

The system is low in maintenance and simple in design, with a high level of engineering and durability to ensure greater safety, and perfectly synchronised outreach for highly accurate, smooth, efficient load control.

The whole outreach system works in unison, which means ideal results each time, and maximum working speeds. It’s a great feature and a good fit for the site, say’s Windsor’s Andy Lane.

“It’s a heavy industry,” says Andy, “heavy loads, over long hours, often in an atmosphere that can prove harmful to most engines. Where there’s contact between a truck and steel, the steel wins, so we are keen to ensure that the visibility is good and that the best kit gets the best possible service.”

Both Andy and Mark know the value of the equipment. Windsor previously provided a different sideloaders brand which demanded a great deal of work to maintain.

The Results

The Baumanns are more robust and operator-friendly and offer much better build quality. You can see that the operators are a lot more in tune with the machine. The door interlock is a good safety feature, preventing operations without the doors being closed, the masts are better, the operator cabin is excellent, even down to the lights being solid LEDs that don’t fall to pieces.”

With the business split over different sites, a breakdown would have the capability of stopping other parts of the business, but now that’s no longer the case.

“We’ve added greater flexibility,” adds Andy, “but ultimately it’s about doing the simple things well and keeping on top of the maintenance regime. We have a great working relationship with Mark and the team, and that only happens if you work together to solve issues as they arise and recognise that we are in it together.”

InBond

About InBond

As a market leader in premium logistics services, InBond has a reputation for providing high quality warehousing and document management services to some of the biggest names in the UK. Serving the likes of Tetley’s, NHS, Next, KP Snacks and Fujifilm, the company has a high level of customer service and efficiency to maintain.

So, when InBond were in the market for a new fleet of forklifts and access machinery, Windsor Materials Handling began a quest to find the best equipment to serve the narrow aisles and high racking at their Stockton-on-Tees facility.

Making the right choice

Over the past 40 years, Windsor Materials Handling has grown from representing and being the exclusive supplier of the Komatsu forklift truck product range into an independent materials handling company that is able to provide an unbiased consultative approach for any application.

Inbond says: “In the past, we have had suppliers that promised the world when selling the services, but fell short when it came to delivery. With a warehouse as versatile as ours, we needed the equipment to match, and Kraig at Windsor pulled out all the stops to provide us with exactly what we needed.”

The racking at InBond’s facility towers at 12.2 metres high in some places, while in other areas it stands at 8.6 metres. Coupled with extremely narrow aisles, it took vigorous planning to source machinery fit for purpose. After careful consideration, Windsor supplied the firm with a mix of access equipment, including scissor lifts from JLG, QuickStock lifts from Genie, and forklifts from Flexi and Komatsu.

InBond purchased four forklifts – two Komatsu and two Flexi – while the rest of the fleet were rented from Windsor along with a service contract.

The Results

Stock comes in and out all of the time, and at times it is very unpredictable. If one of our trucks is down for longer than a day we need a replacement quickly. Compared to the engineers we have worked with previously, Windsor has a super-fast service when it comes to repairs and maintenance. We were also pleasantly surprised by the speedy equipment turnaround.”

Windsor Materials Handling Washington, who has a long standing relationship with InBond, was pleased to see the equipment was well-received.

“For many of our customers, finding the machine for the job is simple because the stock and racking height is consistent, but for InBond there’s a variety of stock and a range of racking heights in different parts of the warehouse. Due to this we had to shop around various manufacturers for specific machinery to serve each area. I’m really pleased that our determination has paid off, and I’m looking forward to continuing our work with InBond in the future.”

Windsor operates from twelve branches across the UK, offering materials handling and access equipment, for sale, hire and maintenance. Established in 1976, the business is now the UK’s leading independent supplier of Komatsu, Kalmar and Doosan forklifts, Baumann sideloaders, Atlet warehousing and JLG access equipment.

Luxus

About Luxus

Luxus Ltd was founded in 1965 to provide the then emerging plastics industry with solutions for plastics waste. The firm’s first laboratory opened in 1982, and has rapidly grown into a business that takes pride in reusing plastics that would otherwise be sent to landfill.

A state-of-the-art Technical Centre replaced the laboratory in 2014, and today, the centre enables the re-engineering of plastic waste materials into high performance plastic compounds. The business now supplies over 45,000 tonnes of the quality assured compounds each year for a diverse range of industry applications, including those in engineering, automotive and packaging sectors.

The technical plastics compounder was the first, and still is the only, UK business to achieve approval for its recycled grades in car interior trims. The busy Louth site also now includes temporary storage to accommodate the finished goods. “We recycle a huge range of plastics in our advanced on-site facilities,” says Peter Laking, Luxus’ Maintenance and Project Engineering Manager. “It helps our customers to proactively manage scrap plastic, reduce costs and minimise their own environmental impact.”

Making the right choice

In order to reflect their environmentally friendly culture, Peter was keen to ensure the exhaust emissions from their materials handling equipment were kept to an absolute minimum – and Windsor Materials Handling helped them make an informed decision through a unique test.

Branch Manager for Windsor’s Sleaford office explains: “Luxus wanted to ensure they selected the forklift with the lowest emissions, so we suggested they do a simple test with a clean sheet of paper on the exhaust pipe of each machine.”

The new Doosan D25S-7 Series came out on top, with its piece of paper finishing the test as clean as ever, while its rival trucks left soot behind on the sheet. The truck’s diesel engine is built with Ultra Low PM Combustion technologies to meet Euro Stage IIIB emission regulations, providing a sturdy performance and excellent fuel efficiency.

The Results

We are genuinely very pleased with the performance of the new kit and the support from Windsor. We may be a large business and significant employer in the town, but we still rely on suppliers to give us great support and understand our needs. It’s been quite a few years now and the relationship is still going strong!”

Peter Laking, Maintenance and Project Engineering Manager

A national company, Windsor’s Sleaford branch covers industrial centres across the region, from Boston to Grantham, Skegness to Newark, in addition to Louth and the surrounding area.  “We’ve been serving the area for quite a few years and throughout that time we’ve been able to see customers like Luxus grow and flourish. Obviously, requirements can change over time, and we like to think of ourselves as responsive and flexible, so being able to refresh the fleet once more and for it to be very well received is of course tremendously satisfying.”

Windsor has been an authorised distributor for Doosan since 2009, offering a brand that meets the operational and environmental needs of businesses across the UK.  In addition to supplying a wide range of materials handling equipment, Windsor also specialises in access platforms and has developed throughout its 40 years of operation to offer a single supplier solution.

“Our business is partnership driven,” says Windsor Managing Director, Stephen Burton. “We know that means providing the best possible deal and backing that up with great support. We are able to offer flexibility where other companies cannot and we hold dearly the ability to listen to our customers.”

Over fifty years since being founded, the Luxus head office and production facilities in Louth is home to over 150 dedicated individuals and the company is recognised as one of Europe’s foremost polymer recyclers and plastic compounds specialists. Luxus is also committed to innovation and continually invests in the latest recycling and manufacturing technologies.

The ongoing relationship with Luxus is testament to our business being driven by partnerships, and our commitment to providing the best possible deal while backing it up with great support. As one of the leading independent materials handling suppliers in the UK, we are able to offer flexibility where other companies cannot, and we hold dearly the ability to listen to our customers before providing an unbiased consultative approach.

Leigh Paints

About Leigh Paints

It all began in 1860 when the Leigh brothers, William and Joshua founded the business, with paint being playing second fiddle to the core business of building.

Four generations later, the family is still involved in a business that has transformed into a modern specialist supplying coatings to North Sea oil rigs, HMS Ark Royal, Premiership football clubs, and the iconic Forth Rail Bridge, amongst many others.

In the early 2000s, CEO Dick Frost realigned the business with its main markets, turning it from a product-led organisation, into a customer-centred one. “Our employees were hugely influential. They were brutal in their criticism, whilst being generally supportive and determined to help us bring about change,” says Dick.

Making the right choice

With a new impetus behind it, the business teams were able to focus on the resources they needed, such as the materials handling fleet. Re-evaluating needs and assessing future requirements for the successful business became part of the transformational development.

The journey led them to Windsor. A review process ended with (or perhaps more accurately began with) Windsor not only maintaining a fleet of over 30 trucks, but also providing new long-term hire trucks.

A critical element of the materials handling operation is the presence of flammable materials. Specialist flameproofing products are therefore included to remove the sources of ignition whilst retaining the original ergonomics and performance of each vehicle.

Specialist flameproofing products are therefore included to remove the sources of ignition whilst retaining the original ergonomics and performance of each vehicle.Conversion, testing and certification takes place to ensure the equipment is compliant with the European Directives ATEX 94/9/EC.

The results

Windsor has itself spent a great deal of time focussing on providing customers with exceptional service and support. “

Dick Frost, CEO

Flameproofing is of paramount importance and obviously a very specialist area. Our engineers have expert knowledge in ensuring the correct procedures are followed, ensuring the correct use for long term safety.

Windsor also delivered in introducing massive savings to the business. By bringing costs down and providing greater productivity, we help the future prosperity of the company. We’re also on hand for any questions or changes in requirements. For the ability of the team to be able to get the right equipment and the right supplier, it’s possible to trace a line back to those days in 2000 when the restructuring of Leighs Paints took place. At the time, all the factory supervisors were removed and replaced by a totally flat structure based on self-directed teams.

If you were to ask Dick Frost for the most important lesson learnt from that time, he’ll say understanding the importance of customers, people and vision, and getting the right people onboard, as “you can’t do it without a great team to help you make it happen. ”With Windsor as a key partner, we think he’ll agree that continues to this day.

Magnum

About Magnum

A supplier of caravan and motorhome parts based in Grimsby has reached new heights with a helping hand from the Immingham branch of Windsor Materials Handling.

Established in Grimsby in 1992, Magnum Motorhomes & Caravan Supplies is a family run business specialising in building materials and accessories for caravans and motorhomes. Operating from a facility working as both a warehouse and a customer-facing retail environment, the business needed a new way to retrieve stock from the high racking.

Making the right choice

“With up to ten customers browsing the aisles at once, Magnum needed a compact solution to ensure optimum safety and space to walk around,” said Windsor sales manager Steve Austin. “After taking multiple factors into consideration, I recommended a JLG Toucan Duo vertical mast lift.”

The compact dimensions and low stowed height of the Toucan Duo allow access to confined space areas, while the six-metre working height, 130kg platform capacity and great turning circle make it ideal for the application at Magnum Motorhomes.

Magnum was founded when Ken Carter, after years of building caravans for Abbey Caravans, decided to begin building his own motorhomes and selling surplus caravan parts. Since then, the business has manufactured all types of conversions, from coach-built to panel vans, race units and even a 52-seater coach. More recently, Magnum has become well-known for being one of the UK’s largest stockists of building materials and accessories for caravans and motorhomes.

The results

When Steve first recommended the Toucan Duo, we were sceptical because it was only available brand new, but when we trialled the piece of equipment we knew it would have to stay,” said Magnum managing director, Ken Carter. “We reallocated a few of our stock locations to ensure it had a clear path to all the high racking. The machine has revolutionised our day-to-day operation, it’s extremely rare we ever get the ladders out now!”

Ken Carter

Windsor’s Immingham branch is based just a 15-minute drive from Magnum’s store, meaning the business also receives a fast response when advice or an engineer is needed – especially beneficial during busy times.

“We supply to trade, public and DIY enthusiasts,” continued Ken Carter. “While we do get especially busy during spring when we start to experience more sunny days, we are also busy throughout winter with customers aiming to get their motorhome ready for the warmer months.”

Ken believes introducing the JLG Toucan Duo to his shop has sped up the order fulfilment process, as workers can retrieve items at any level with simplicity. Magnum employee Tom was especially pleased with the new equipment. “It does exactly what it says on the tin, I don’t know how we managed without it! It’s firm, stable and you feel safe on it. It is a magic bit of kit and I’m really surprised at how well it works in small spaces.”

Now in its 10th year of providing access equipment as part of its first-class portfolio of services, Windsor is a unique player in the materials handling and access industry, having remained independent throughout its 40 years of operation. Ken Carter concludes: “I can’t fault Windsor at all, they have provided a great service. The engineers are flexible and Steve is always on hand whenever we need advice.”

George H Kime

About George Kime

Established by George Kime in the 1930s, George H Kime & Co. Limited has experienced over 80 years of operational success. Initially set up as a provider of transport services for local food businesses in Boston, Lincolnshire, the company has grown to serve not only the fresh food industry, but a wide spectrum of customers internationally.

Over the years, Kimes have served all sorts of customers – from sole traders to blue chip companies – and many of these have continued to use the firm’s services for decades. With branches in Wrangle nr. Boston and Lincoln, the firm’s continued success saw the opening of a third warehouse in November 2015, based in Sleaford. Kimes hit a milestone eight months ago when they bought the facility after renting it for most of their first year of operation.

Making the right choice

The icing on the cake for the business expansion was a brand-new fleet of forklift trucks for the Sleaford depot, which Windsor helped specify. A pair of two-tonne capacity Still trucks were supplied, and just a week after delivery, drivers at Kimes were already endorsing the forklifts.

One operator, Gary Rose, is typically impressed. “The new forklifts feel stable, and the various different settings make the job so much easier. The manoeuvrability of the machines is incredible, and the automatic braking on ramps gives you extra confidence.”

Still’s RX 70 series has a particularly stable driving behaviour due to the truck’s low centre of gravity. George H Kime will also benefit from low operating costs through the trucks’ hybrid diesel-electric drive with a powerful industrial motor. This also allows the forklifts to deliver a high volume at a low V-engine speed due to the electrically activated hydraulic pump.

Gary continued: “I’m thankful for the glass cab too – trucks I’ve used in the past have been open to the elements. It not only protects you from the weather but from dust and debris left behind in trailers too!”

The results

This is the first time we have had brand new trucks, and I can’t fault Windsor at all for their service and response times. With the local Windsor branch only five miles down the road, a helping hand is never far away. Their engineers are experienced and do their jobs quickly too.”

Still has been delivering its products and services for over 90 years now, and have an outstanding reputation for the dependability of their trucks. Starting out by repairing motors in the 1920s, the company has used its expertise to develop into one of the leading full service providers for intralogistics. Windsor formed a partnership with Still due to their mutual belief that personal relationships are the basis of a long business relationship.

For George H Kime’s Sleaford warehouse manager, Tony Clifton, this is just one of the reasons for choosing to work with Windsor. “I have worked on this site for 22 years – before Kimes the warehouse belonged to Staples Disposables, and I worked with Windsor for many years in that capacity too,” said Tony.

As one of the leading independent materials handling suppliers in the UK, Windsor Materials Handling was founded on service in 1977. Since then, the Windsor name has been synonymous with materials handling and access systems, providing a first-class range of forklift truck and access platform hire, sales and maintenance services.

Branch Manager for Windsor’s Sleaford office echoes this: “Our business is partnership driven. This means providing the best possible deal and backing that up with great support,” he said. “I have known Tony for lots of years – I met him when I was working for the local pest control company. He was surprised when one week I was fitting pest control and the next week I was pestering him about forklifts! For me, this is what Windsor is all about – providing the best quality local service on a national level.”
