Warehouse, new front office extension along with old office new facade.
In August 2025, we finally broke ground on the long‑awaited extension to our warehouse. The unused land on the left side of the site gave us the perfect space to grow—allowing us to hold more printed stock for customers as well as additional company inventory. It’s a major step forward in supporting our continued expansion.
The build itself has been fascinating to watch. The frame rose quickly, almost like a giant Meccano or Lego set being assembled piece by piece. At the same time, our middle warehouse has been extended to line up with the far‑left building, creating a more unified site layout.
After staring at drawings and plans for so long, seeing the project finally come to life has been a real milestone for everyone involved.
The Framework
Once the frame was in place, the roof followed soon after—marking the first step in making the new warehouse fully watertight. From above, the scale of the extension becomes even more striking. With the roof on, the space feels significantly larger, giving a clear sense of the capacity this build will add to our operations.
Walls are up
Now that the walls are up, the full outline of the extension is becoming clear. The old blue metal edging on the existing structure has been replaced with a sleek anthracite‑grey finish, giving the entire building a fresh, modern look. Interior work is underway too, now that the warehouse is fully sealed and watertight.
Office Extension
Our office extension has officially began with brickwork going up. As we have grown in staff numbers since 2022 with 5 new team members joining Smartlift, our office has felt significantly smaller, with desks taking up most of the floor area in the existing office. The New build office is going to be a game changer allowing for everyone to spread out a bit more but also allowing for growth.
The canopy has now been removed, and the brickwork is being carefully taken down—marking a major milestone in the transformation. This phase feels especially exciting, and we’re looking forward to revealing the new space we’ve been working toward.
