When corporate clothing
supplier, BTC Activewear,
decided to relocate a relatively
small warehouse to a newly
built distribution centre at
Opus 9, a 33-acre
regeneration scheme at
Junction 9 on the M6, it
turned to storage and
materials handling supplier
the Nene Group. Chosen by
BTC Activewear for its
innovative use of space and
attention to detail, the Nene
Group has fitted out the
107,000ft2 site into a state-of-
the-art facility with storage
for 10,000 pallets.

Around 5700 beams of
varying dimensions and
weight have been installed as
part of the storage system,
together with anti-collapse
mesh and picking bins.

Decking was installed in the
picking areas where staff
collect pick lists from the end
of the aisle and then visit each
location in sequence to
retrieve the items.
