Recent data indicates the estimated nationwide vacancy rate for warehouses over 100,000 ft 2 currently stands at just 6.8% (Source: Savills for BBC Newsnight). With many UK businesses now running close to capacity, this leaves almost no space left to cope with the rapid growth in demand for warehouse storage which has been stimulated by factors such as pre-Brexit stockpiling and an increased number of online retailers coming onto the market. To take on these challenges, it is vital for UK businesses to implement strategies which will help combat this growing issue.
