Wickens completes second contract with plastic building materials supplier C&A Building Plastics

Since launching a brand new depot last year in Gillingham, Kent, C&A

Building Plastics has gone from strength to strength. As a result of its

success the leading supplier of plastic building materials needed to create

more storage space on site and it approached racking specialist Wickens to

design a solution.


Wickens was commissioned to design, engineer and install a 19m x 11m

mezzanine floor to enable C&A Building Plastics to store an additional

number of pallets at its Gillingham facility. Wickens engineers were also

on site during the design stage to ensure that the mezzanine leg supports

would fit around existing cutting machinery without limiting access or

causing any health and safety issues.


Charles Candlin, managing director of C&A Building Plastics, comments: "We

chose Wickens because it has design, manufacturing and installation

capabilities in-house at its Worcester headquarters and because of its track

record with us. The Wickens team had already proven their capabilities when

they managed a sizeable cantilever racking project for us one year ago.

Their professionalism and ability to meet our specific needs made them the

natural choice for this project."
