Overview

Ede’s was appointed to support Pachamama with the relocation of a two-level warehouse from 137 Greenwich High Road, London to Thorp Arch Estate, Wetherby. The project involved the large-scale movement of boxed inventory and racking systems, delivered over a tightly managed multi-day schedule. The key priority was clear: complete the relocation efficiently and on time while ensuring safe handling of all goods and infrastructure.

The Challenge

Delivering a long-distance warehouse relocation within a defined timeframe required careful logistics planning and coordination. Key challenges included:

• Dismantling and transporting nineteen Mecalux racking units
• Coordinating multiple vehicle movements between London and Wetherby
• Ensuring efficient loading and offloading across staggered delivery schedules
• Maintaining programme timelines across a multi-day operation

Our Approach

Ede’s delivered a structured and phased relocation programme, ensuring smooth execution across all stages.

• Initial deployment of an 18-ton vehicle to begin phased relocation
• Use of articulated vehicles to manage high-volume transport efficiently
• Coordinated loading in London with next-day offloading in Wetherby
• Deployment of experienced crew including fitters for racking systems
• Careful handling and transport of boxed goods and specialist equipment
• Continuous coordination to maintain flow across all five days of the project

All works were delivered in line with strict health and safety standards.

• Full Risk Assessment and Method Statements (RAMS) implemented
• Safe dismantling and handling of racking systems
• Appropriate equipment used including pallet trucks and dollies
