Ray Phelan, sales director of RediGroup

Storage systems specialist RediGroup has recorded a 26% increase in orders for the first half of the year, compared to the same period a year ago.

Direct sales of the group's RediRack pallet racking and RediFloor mezzanine floor structures jumped by 214%, while sales in the company's UK-wide distributor network are also up on last year by 75%.

Ray Phelan, sales director of RediGroup, says: "What is particularly pleasing is the strong growth that we are experiencing has been consistent since January and is coming from the core business of pallet racking and mezzanine floors."

Phelan explains that the group has invested heavily in its factory and infrastructure. "Our growth reflects our increased competitiveness and a growing awareness in the market of the strength and unique advantages that RediRack pallet racking and RediFloor mezzanines offer."

Next year will see RediRack celebrate 40 years of continuous UK manufacturing from its factory near Sheffield. Based in South Yorkshire, RediGroup is a logistics solutions provider made up of five distinct divisions: RediBuild, RediFit, RediFloor, RediRack and RediTechniX.
