L&R bags new storage facility
L&R Storage, the secure document storage and destruction company, has purchased a new storage facility in Oldbury. The Black Country company was advised on the move by Wolverhampton law firm FBC Manby Bowdler.
L&R has acquired a 3,200 sq ft industrial unit, which will allow it to almost double its present document storage capacity. The company, which employs seven people, also operates a 12,000 sq ft premises in Birmingham.
The new premises will be the base for the company’s secure document destruction service. It has recently invested in a new shredding facility through which it plans to destroy more than 50 tonnes of documents each year, sending the shredded paper for recycling.
Managing director Gerald Lewis said: “We provide a highly confidential service, for various professional organisations, this means that our clients have to have a high level of trust in our security and it helps them to know that we are a family firm.
“One of our main areas of growth at present is providing administrators, accountants and solicitors with archive storage and an accurate document inventory service, so we needed the additional capacity which the new unit has provided."
Andrew Wynne, a partner in the commercial property department at FBC Manby Bowdler, advised the sale.
