This has not however meant a brake on expansion. Operating initially from rented premises in Quedgeley growth was such that these soon became insufficient and the directors decided that as they were in this business for the long haul a move should be made to a purpose built facility which should be wholly owned. The net result of this policy was that a brand new warehouse which could be used for storage and ancillary services was opened in December 2005 on Gloucester Business Park and this became the group headquarters.
Advanced operate a fleet of thirty vehicles of all sizes which give them the flexibility for moves great and small, and have also branched out into commercial and office moves where they have established a presence with corporate clients and local authorities.
Archive and document storage has shown considerable growth of late not only due to the requirement of regulatory authorities but also due to the requirement of commerce and light industry and we do see this as a continuing growth area.
Future plans include in the medium term the erection of an additional 15,000 sq. ft warehouse for the planned expansion of the storage and archive containers.
