The event will showcase some of the most innovative companies from the local business community. including Great Bridge-based Narrow Aisle, which has been building Flexi warehouse trucks since 1976 and is one of only a handful of companies manufacturing lift trucks in the UK today.

Flexi trucks pick up and transport pallets like conventional forklifts but are designed to allow more of a warehouse or distribution centre to be used for valuable storage space.

Over the last two decades more than 6,000 Flexis have been sold throughout the world and the Flexi brand has become synonymous with high quality, ultra-efficient products, exceptional reliability and outstanding customer service.

A range of Flexi finance packages, each of which is tailored to suit a client’s needs, is available.

Narrow Aisle also offers warehouse planning, design and implementation services and specialises in updating and transforming existing storage facilities to significantly improve efficiency and reduce operating costs.

“There are a huge number of warehouse facilities across the Midlands region that were constructed and equipped over 25 to 30 years ago and many of these sites are no longer fit for purpose,” said Narrow Aisle’s commercial director, John Maguire.

“Often the original usage has changed completely and therefore the storage and materials handling equipment installed is no longer efficient. Narrow Aisle works with its clients to redesign the layout of their site and create a much more cost effective operation,” he added.
