Polyhose UK, an energy conveyance products wholesaler in Christchurch, was delighted to welcome guests from the Dorset Chamber, British Fluid Power Association (BFPA), Mar-Key Group, Lloyds Banking Group and Rubicon People Partnership to celebrate the official opening of their new warehouse.
From their dedicated warehouse and distribution site in Christchurch, Dorset, Polyhose supplies customers all over the UK with world-class Thermoplastic, PTFE, Rubber Hydraulic, Industrial, Composite, Stainless Steel, Flexible hoses and Fluid Connectors.
With ambitious growth plans for 2025 and beyond, Polyhose needed to create additional warehousing space to accommodate a broader range of products and increase the depth of its UK stock holding.
After looking at various build options, they chose to work with local Dorset manufacturer Mar-Key Group, whose temporary structures offered the fast, flexible and cost-effective solution they required.
Marc Whibley, Managing Director at Polyhose UK, said, “Once the groundworks were complete, Mar-Key Group finished the structure in just a few weeks. Seeing our vision for the new building come to life so quickly was incredible. The additional warehousing will make a real difference to our business.”
Charlie Watson, Business Development Manager at Mar-Key Group, added, “Working on this build with Polyhose has been fantastic. The installation is around the corner from our manufacturing facility, and it was great to watch our team turn their empty land into usable space.”
Visiting the site, Dorset Chamber Chief Executive Ian Girling commented, “Dorset has a vibrant and exciting business community. It is a pleasure to visit projects like this and see Chamber members working together to deliver economic growth.”
Chris Butcher, Managing Director at the BFPA, added, “It was a pleasure to be invited to the official opening of the new Polyhose warehouse and to meet their hardworking team. The new building is fantastic and is an excellent example of the investment our members are making in the £1.5+ billion UK fluid power industry.”
Chris also presented Polyhose with a certificate congratulating them on 40 years in business. The company was initially incorporated in 1985.
