Document storage, retention and retrieval


Storage and indexing

Documents are fully indexed before being stored. A bar code is applied to each box or file, which allows us to track their movement. Destruction dates are recorded to create a disposal schedule.

Statutory retention

Businesses have to keep some records to comply with legislation and statutory requirements, often for many years. Off-site storage frees you from the need to commit valuable space on a long-term basis or move documents whenever there is an office re-organisation.

Retrieval and collection

With our sophisticated electronic tracking systems, documents are easily and quickly accessible. Whenever you request documents, these are delivered the next day.

A 4 hour express service is available if required. When you have finished with them, they are collected for return to our facilities. Bar code tracking means we always know exactly where your files are.

We also offer a 'Scan-On-Demand' service, for super quick retrievals. For more information please click here.

As well as documents, we can store:

  • Office furniture
  • IT or other equipment
  • Stationery

Storage can be long-term or on a temporary basis.

We collect items from your offices and return them to you when required.
Items are stored in the same secure environment that we use for all our documents.

For health and safety reasons, we cannot store hazardous chemical or other potentially harmful substances.
