Just last year, experts warned that the UK would run out of warehouse space within 12 months and right on time, it seems to have come to fruition. Earlier this year, research showed that the shortage of available warehouse space is hitting businesses in Slough harder than anywhere else but there are a number of other UK cities who are also severely struggling.

The food and beverage industry is one that is constantly in flux. New consumer trends, emerging technologies and changing market forces mean this industry is one that has to continue to evolve and adapt. Here are 3 major challenges currently facing the food and beverage industry.

Foster Clark Products Ltd required a solution for segregating an area for allergen control. Our retractable factory curtain wall solution, Flexicurtain, is ideal to quickly separate two areas.

The DHL team at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) contacted Westgate Global for a partitioning solution to segregate storage of food and drink containers from non-food products.

Operating in the food and drink industry means that Kingsland Drinks must meet the requirements for BRC accreditation. Flexiwall helps with this as it is manufactured from food safe materials, delivers an over 99% dust tight seal and easily segregates production and storage areas.

Westgate Global were invited to install Flexiscreen to assist Kerry whilst installing a new production line without disrupting current manufacturing.

Due to the strong relationship with Birds Eye, Westgate Global were asked to facilitate a solution. Flexiscreen was recommended for a number of reasons, with the first of those being specific to this project: Flexiscreen can be easily installed at an angle, which is a very big advantage over conventional temporary screening methods.
