Single Source’s Upgraded Staff Changing Facilities by LinkLockers

Single Source, part of Portion Solutions, is a leading portion packing company operating from a state-of-the-art 75,000 sq. ft. factory in Telford, Shropshire. Producing over 25 million portions daily, the company holds the BRC Global Standard – Food Grade A accreditation, reflecting its commitment to quality and hygiene.

The Challenge: Enhancing Staff Welfare & Meeting Hygiene Standards

To prioritise employee welfare and exceed food industry standards, Single Source sought to upgrade its staff changing facilities. Key requirements included:

• Lockers that segregate workwear from non-workwear to meet hygiene standards.
• Easy-to-clean designs for food industry compliance.
• Storage for motorcycle and bike helmets.
• Improved functionality and comfort in the locker rooms.

Three companies tendered for the project, with LinkLockers securing the contract. An internal working party, including management and workforce representatives, guided the installation process.

The Solution: Functional & Hygiene-Focused Locker Systems

LinkLockers designed and installed a modular locker solution tailored to Single Source’s requirements:

• Workwear Segregation: 2-door lockers (63 in the male room, 40 in the female room) were installed, with key-operated deadlocks and distinct colour coding (blue for top lockers, red for bottom).
• Integrated Benches: Full-length wooden benches with steel mesh shoe shelves provided comfort and functionality.
• Additional Storage: Open units were added for bulky coat and jacket storage, increasing locker capacity in the male room to 67.
• Helmet Storage: Eight 4-door lockers were installed in the canteen for motorcycle and bike helmets.
• Hygiene Features: Lockers were fitted with 22.5° sloping tops to prevent litter buildup and ensure easy cleaning. All units included ActiveCoat® anti-microbial protection as standard.

The Result: Enhanced Wellbeing & Practicality

Single Source successfully enhanced its staff changing facilities, achieving:

• Improved hygiene compliance with segregated storage and anti-microbial lockers.
• Increased locker capacity and better use of space.
• Comfortable, functional changing rooms that support employee wellbeing.
