AR Racking recently completed a significant installation at B&Q’s Blyth Distribution Centre (DC). The project, finalized in May 2025, focused on substantially increasing the facility’s seasonal storage capabilities. This strategic upgrade involved deploying AR Racking’s specialized AR PAL racking system.

Enhancing Distribution Capacity

The initiative strategically integrated new storage locations into the existing infrastructure. This expansion directly addressed B&Q’s need for greater capacity. The AR PAL racking system proved central to this expansion, providing a robust framework for new inventory.

AR Racking installed its AR PAL racking system at B&Q’s Blyth Distribution Centre, completed May 2025. This strategic upgrade significantly increased seasonal storage and distribution capacity. The high-density solution improves operational efficiency, streamlines logistics, and optimizes B&Q's supply chain to serve customers effectively.

Meeting High-Density Requirements

B&Q specifically sought a storage solution that balanced high density with full product access. AR Racking delivered a system precisely meeting these operational demands. This design ensures efficient use of space while maintaining accessibility for all stored items.

Improving Operational Efficiency

The installation has not only expanded the distribution centre’s overall capacity but also significantly improved its performance. Managing seasonal logistics becomes more streamlined with the enhanced infrastructure. This directly translates to better inventory flow during peak demand periods.

The successful completion of this project marks a key step in B&Q’s ongoing efforts to optimize its supply chain. The collaboration with AR Racking has provided a scalable and efficient solution. This upgrade ultimately supports B&Q’s ability to serve customers effectively throughout the year.
