Background

Expect Distribution is a family-owned warehousing and logistics provider. With a fleet of 130 vehicles, the company handles about 3,500 pallets a day and runs from four sites in West Yorkshire, totalling over 500,000 sq ft.

It opened its fourth site, at Euroway Trading Estate in Bradford, in April 2019.

Security and fire requirements

Expect already had security and fire systems across all of its facilities, so the need for them at the new site was recognised early in the move. With so much space to cover, it was important to control the risks of a busy facility at a fair cost.

Expect had worked with Centurion at its other sites in the region, so it invited Centurion to tender. After a thorough process, Centurion won the contract on price and service levels.

The solution

Centurion installed fire alarms, intruder alarms, CCTV and Paxton Net2 door access. Expect also pays for its maintenance contracts through Centurion’s monthly direct debit scheme.

The outcome

“The state-of-the-art systems provide us with peace of mind that our employees and infrastructure are kept safe during working and non-operational hours. … We have now used them for various services across our other premises and would recommend their services to others.”

Neil Rushworth, Managing Director, Expect Distribution
