Local warehouse lighting in Lerwick
We plan lift access in Lerwick around your picking routes and loading times, so the warehouse keeps moving while the work is done.
For Lerwick sites with roof lights, daylight sensing can hold the high bays at a low level for much of a summer day.
Lerwick sits within the Highlands and Islands. We work throughout the ZE1 postcode district and surrounding places, including Toab.
We cover Lerwick by arrangement. Because of travel and access, visits are usually grouped with other work in the Highlands and Islands, so please allow more time for a survey and tell us about any ferry or access constraints.
