Benefits of using a records management company
Moving your business records off-site to a professional archive storage facility is a cost-effective solution for addressing your document storage needs.
- Knowing exactly where your files are at all times, allows for peace of mind
Eliminating the hassle of locating and retrieving documents saves time and resource.
The minutes can add up every time you have to find and retrieve a document, especially when you have to search through several filing cabinets or boxes to locate what it is you are searching for. Off-site record storage provides a more efficient way of locating your files, enabling you to be more productive with your time. Using bar-coded tracking system allows you to add detail against your files so you know what is exactly held in your box. This is a process is now essential to becoming compliant with the GDPR.
- Office space
If you need more space in your office, moving all or less active files into offsite storage can help. This can reduce the number of filing cabinets or those boxes that hide under your desk, or even the columns of boxes/ files that sit in the boundaries of an office leaning up against the wall or blocking the essential fire exits. Removing boxes will give your office a better utilisation of space. This can also help tidy your office enhancing the feel-good factor, by working in a tidy office environment.

Recycle
Shredded paper that is discarded into an industrial “recycle bin” usually ends up in land-fill. The shredded paper, once it gets to the local council segregation areas, cannot be sorted from the rest of the rubbish due to its size and either blocks up the machine or is swept into the landfill pile. Our service makes sure that 100% of paper is recycled. This helps the environment and creates and sustains jobs in the industry.
