A-Safe makes mark on M&S w'house safety
December 1st 2010

In July this year,Marks and Spencer (M&S) officially opened its new flagship distribution centre in the new 90-acre Pro Logis Business Park on the busy M62 corridor.

A-Safe was chosen to provide a selection of on-site safety barrier systems including over 60 column protectors along with wall protection. The logistics team at M&S also saw A-safe's designs as fitting in with the modern, fresh and efficient image that the new Bradford distribution centre would convey.

When it came to the final decision, Danny Swann, logistics manager for capital and infrastructure at M&S head office, says: "This solution [A-Safe] would become the Design Standard so I would want it in all new sheds and any we alter.

"I also saw with my own eyes the installation A-Safe did at Office Depot in Ashton-under-Lyne. A few years on it still looks good condition." Importantly too, the polymer barriers offer a considerable environmental saving fitting with M&S's eco and ethical 'Plan A'. Over a five-year period, a 100m length of plastic A-Safe barrier is said to create a carbon footprint four and a half times smaller than a steel equivalent.
