We know that your business is relying on online documentation and data more than ever before. Whether your document management strategy incorporates digital records, paper copies, or a combination of both, ensuring that they’re efficiently managed and easily accessible by your staff is critical to business operations.
That’s why we offer safe and secure document storage solutions, in state-of-the-art archive and vault facilities across the UK. We offer a range of services, from indexed paper storage to media vault storage, so no matter the challenge, we have the document storage solution to suit you.
A secure service you can trust
We understand that a business's priority is security. With twenty seven years of industry experience, we’ve spent time investing in our high standard security measures so that you can trust our storage services.
Our staff are thoroughly vetted and DBS checked to comply with BS 7858. Before one of our staff is employed, we ask them to provide proof of identity, three references, as well as undertake a ten year career history check.
Our storage facilities are as secure as possible against theft, burglary, vandalism, and other criminal acts; they’re protected by alarms, linked to police stations by RedCare, and we have 24-hour CCTV so your documents are protected at all times. To date, we’ve had no incidents of fire, flood, and no breaches of security.

Accessing your stored documents
We know that accessing your documents easily is just as critical as ensuring that they’re secure in our facilities. After we’ve stored and indexed your documents in our secure facility, you and your team will be able to request retrieval via email or our online ordering system.
We also offer document scanning services alongside our document management system, which allows you to receive your documents in a number of digital formats in an instant. We’re happy to discuss with you your specific company’s requirements, to find the best possible document retrieval process.
How our document storage works
1. Storage boxes
You can choose to use your own storage boxes, or we can supply them to you. Staff will scan the barcode on each box into their handheld scanner. The scanner will contain a complete record of all boxes leaving the current storage facility for transportation to our storage depot. A work order will be dated, timed and signed by one of our drivers and an approved member of your team – we’ll also leave a duplicate copy of the order with your company.
2. Tracking and indexing
Our document indexing service saves you time and hassle. Our friendly, fully vetted staff will provide a complete inventory of your records together with a full audit trail. Each box will be barcoded and scanned so we can track your documents through all stages of the transportation, delivery and retrieval process.
3. Document retrieval
You can order files and boxes back at any time by emailing us or using our online ordering system. We collect and deliver documents across the UK, either the same day, next day or as part of a regular, scheduled service. When you’ve finished working with a file or box, we’ll collect it and return it to its original location.
4. UK-wide collection & delivery
Our customised fleet of vehicles will securely transport documents to and from your offices, right across the UK. A work order will then be signed off by both parties, completing the secure document storage process.
