Steel firm helps Stiller expand again with £750,000 warehouse

November 10th, 2016 Martin Walker Business 0 comments 2040

Steel company SCH Site Services is helping a large logistics firm to expand again with the development of a £750,000 warehouse.

Stiller Warehousing and Distribution, based on Aycliffe Business Park, is in the process of constructing a new 40,000 sq ft warehouse for its rapidly-expanding list of customers.

The latest development, standing at 10 metres tall, will store another 6,000 pallets for the family-run firm.

See our short film of the extension being constructed by clicking here

The structure is an extension to an existing 40,000 sq ft warehouse, which opened in September 2015, and further increases Stiller’s warehousing capabilities across its 20 acres of land at the heart of Aycliffe Business Park.

And the project is supporting dozens of local jobs in its construction.

Project managed by Darlington-based ADG Architects with civil engineering support from Durham-based BDN, its main contractor is Hall Construction, based at nearby Rushyford, which awarded Aycliffe-based SCH a project to fabricate and erect its frame using 90 tonnes of steel.

SCH, which has previously worked with Hall Construction on the refurbishment of buildings at PD Ports on Teesside, completed the steel fabrication and erection of the frame within eight weeks, and the warehouse is expected to be fully completed in the New Year.

SCH managing director Gary Finley – pictured above (right) with Stiller’s commercial manager Matthew Stiller – said: “We’re delighted to have worked on a project so close to us in Newton Aycliffe which is supporting several local employers.

“We fabricated the steel in-house at our facility just around the corner from Stiller’s site and erected it on site.

“The extension had to join an existing warehouse which made it a little more complex than a stand-alone shed and we also had to design the end connections for the structure, but we’re pleased we’ve been able to work with one of our neighbours in enabling their ambitious plans for future growth.”

The new warehouse will take Stiller’s recent investments in equipment, people and property to more than £6.4m in the last three years.

The firm has invested heavily in a fleet of new trailers and spent £1.1m on a new warehouse which increased its warehousing capacity by nearly 50%, while further cash was ploughed into two new external storage areas, totalling 32,000 sq ft, earlier this year.

Matthew Stiller said: “Nearly all of our space is allocated to clients at the moment, which is a great position to be in.

“This latest development is a speculative build, but we’re confident there’ll be fairly high demand for the space, and we very much like working with local companies.

“SCH have done an exceptional job. There’s been no hold up, despite a bit of bad weather, so we’re very happy with the work they’ve done.”

As well as the Stiller project, SCH is currently working on the Cello factory extension in Bishop Auckland for Wharton Construction, the refurbishment of an existing structure in Barrow-in-Furness for MGL, roof structure strengthening work at Nissan in Washington for Sir Robert McAlpine and the Belvedere retail pods at Kingston Park in Newcastle for Brims Construction.

Earlier this year, SCH completed a 350-tonne project working on intu Metrocentre’s new Qube II extension in Gateshead for main contractor Sir Robert McAlpine as well as another project for intu at Eldon Square in Newcastle.

Formed in 2006, SCH first operated as a crane hire company with four mobile cranes and four drivers working for local companies, but it grew into steelwork and in 2011 recorded a turnover of £325,000.

After moving into new premises in 2012, sales grew to £2.2m and then £3.43m before hitting £4.1m in 2013, £4.1m in 2014 and £4.5m in 2015, while staff numbers have also doubled to 40 in the last four years.

As well as Hall Construction, SCH also boasts Sir Robert McAlpine, B&K Structures, Wates Group, Interserve, Peikko and Balfour Beatty among its impressive client list.
