Multi-Tier Racking

Boden Optimises Distribution with Apex Multi-Tier Racking Solution

The Challenge: Expanding Warehouse Storage

Boden, a leading British clothing retailer, faced storage limitations as demand for its products increased. With a growing customer base and plans for additional retail locations, Boden needed a high-capacity, scalable warehouse racking solution to optimise space and streamline operations. After evaluating multiple options, Boden partnered with Apex, part of Whittan Group, to design and install a multi-tier racking system in its new 250,000 sq ft distribution centre in Leicestershire.

The Approach: High-Density Multi-Tier Racking

Apex delivered a custom storage solution featuring:

  • Eight racking blocks, configured as a multi-tier system with ground plus three levels, providing 234,000 carton storage locations.
  • 3m-wide aisles designed to accommodate additional pallet storage, ensuring future scalability.
  • Structural mezzanine floors for end-access aisles and rack-supported walkways.
  • Wire mesh panels in Boden’s corporate colours for improved organisation and safety.
  • 10 staircases for easy employee access across the facility.

The Result: Streamlined Distribution & Improved Returns Processing

The optimised racking system significantly enhanced storage capacity, reducing touchpoints and improving operational efficiency. The new layout enabled a faster multi-SKU returns process, reducing restocking time from 2.5 days to just 45 minutes, leading to a 9-person workforce reduction in returns handling.

A Whittan storage solution, designed, manufactured, and installed using Apex pallet racking and Hi-Store mezzanine levels, delivering a high-performance, future-proof distribution centre for Boden.
