Warehouse layout:
Whilst we pride ourselves on an organised, easy to navigate layout at all times here at LNH this time of year it is paramount that organisation is key. Our warehousing and operations managers work tirelessly to ensure efficiency within our warehousing service. We review where and how our inventory is stored and look at our systems and how we can improve the warehousing functionality constantly. Easily accessible, well located and stored goods help to reduce labour time and overall means a more effective operation. Good organisation means less wasted time and less chance of error which helps us keep you, our clients happy and in turn your customers happy.

We may be biased but the warehousing team here at LNH is second to non and we are very proud of our staff and how the warehousing function of our business is run, especially warehousing for the Christmas period.
We ensure we have the correct amount of staff needed to run the warehouse effectively at all times which allows us to fulfil the deliveries. The staffing needs at this time of year are increased so we ensure that we offer overtime and extra persons to help team moral and motivation. A happy team means that the warehousing process runs much smoother. Our staff are all fully trained and excellent at what they do so we have no worries on this front when it comes to meeting Christmas warehousing demands.
Equipment Checks:
The operations team here at LNH are busy checking al of our equipment for the lead up to our busy period. All of our equipment is maintained at all times however extra checks are carried out to ensure that we do not have an hiccups during this festive period. All of the inspections will be carried out and any issues mechanical or technical can be rectified before the rush. Forward planning helps us stay ahead of the game.
