Warehouse by Design wins in a record year


Greg Taylor.
Western Sydney-based Warehouse by Design has won this year’s Colby Storage Solutions Distributor of the Year Award.
 
Warehouse by Design Principal Greg Taylor said the competitive pressures in the storage equipment market were the tightest he has experienced in his 12 years representing Colby.
 
“Over the past couple of years, we have all had to work smarter and fight harder to stay ahead of our competitors. Everyone at Warehouse by Design is thrilled to receive the national honour. To win Colby’s award in our best-ever year in such a competitive marketplace makes it all the more gratifying,” he said.
 
“Despite market conditions remaining competitive, we enjoyed a 30% increase in sales last year, but the figure we’re most proud of is that around 80% came from repeat business,” added Mr Taylor.
 
“We only achieve such a high rate of repeat business by being customer and service-driven in everything we do.
 
“When a customer needs us to pull out the stops, we literally shed blood, sweat and tears to make sure it happens and our customers appreciate our dedication and commitment to delivering on time, on budget.
 
“With Colby Storage Solutions being part of logistics systems supplier Dematic, we also get access to some of the best engineers in the country,” said Mr Taylor.
 
“Working closely with our customers and Dematic’s structural engineering design team, we are able to offer a variety of smart and cost-effective solutions to increase storage system capacity and ensure a safe workplace.”
 
Designed and manufactured in Australia by Dematic, Colby storage equipment has been a market leader for more than 40 years, supplying innovative, high quality products that deliver performance, safety and value.
 
Dematic’s General Manager Storage Equipment, Tony Woodlock, said: “Warehouse by Design is to be congratulated for their achievement in another very tough year for the storage equipment industry.
 
“Over the past three years storage equipment sales have been on a roller coaster ride mainly due to the GFC”, explained Mr Woodlock.
 
“Fortunately, the outlook for the storage equipment market in NSW has improved, with the market almost doubling over the past year. Confidence is also slowly returning to the spec-built warehouse construction market, and prospects for the next couple of years are looking good, barring any further major global financial crisis,” said Mr Woodlock.
