James Abbey & sons
James Abbey & Sons (Vegetables) Ltd, based in Warrington, specialises in the processing and preserving of fresh produce, ensuring high-quality vegetable storage and distribution. With a strong industry reputation, their ability to store and distribute fresh produce efficiently is crucial to their business operations.
Facing the Unexpected
In early January 2025, a devastating fire broke out in a neighbouring facility, causing significant damage to James Abbey & Sons’ chilled storage. The loss of their primary storage solution posed an immediate threat to their operations, being left without the necessary infrastructure to store fresh produce. The company faced the possibility of outsourcing their storage to a third-party logistics (3PL) provider, which would have increased costs and disrupted delivery schedules.
You Never Know When You’ll Need It
Dawn Morris at James Abbey & Sons (Vegetables) Ltd, recalled a previous email with images and videos of the Temp°store solution from Dawsongroup tcs, where the customer immediately recognised its potential to restore their operations. We quickly identified that the Temp°store inflatable cold storage solution was the perfect fit for their urgent needs. The Temp°store units provided a flexible, on-site, refrigerated, storage solution that could be deployed rapidly, ensuring minimal disruption to the company’s supply chain.
Fast Response with Implementation
Once the customer contacted us, our team promptly engaged with them, presenting the Temp°store solution in detail, offering a clear visualisation of how it could be integrated into their existing warehouse space. In just over a week, they went from contract signage to resuming essential cold storage operations. The units were strategically positioned within the warehouse to ensure seamless accessibility for forklift trucks, optimising the handling and transportation of stored vegetables. By efficiently implementing the solution, James Abbey & Sons avoided major operational setbacks and maintained business continuity during a critical period.
“Without the Temp°store solution, we’d have been struggling due to the fire—it’s helped keep our business going” Dawn Morris at James Abbey & Sons (Vegetables) Ltd.
