About Global Chair Components

Founded in 1996, Global Chair Components is a leading wholesale distributor supplying office chair parts and components across the UK and beyond. With continued growth driving increased stock levels, Global Chair needed to find an effective way to expand their storage capacity without disrupting daily operations or incurring ongoing external storage costs.

Business Challenge

As Global Chair’s business continued to scale, their existing warehouse was reaching full capacity. The company was relying heavily on off-site external storage, housing nearly as many pallets externally as on their main site—approximately 1,500 pallets in each.

While external storage partners had served them well, the setup came with limitations:

- Rising storage costs associated with third-party facilities

- Reduced operational control over stock

- The complexity of managing inventory across multiple locations

Global Chair wanted a cost-effective, flexible solution that would enable them to bring storage operations back under one roof.

The solution

The Solution

Having previously collaborated with Spaciotempo UK on other projects, Global Chair turned to the team once again for a tailored temporary warehouse structure at their Thetford site.

Spaciotempo provided a bespoke, clear-span temporary building large enough to accommodate 1,500 pallets of racked storage. The clear-span design ensured maximum use of internal space without the obstruction of internal columns—critical in achieving Global Chair’s goal of optimising storage density while keeping costs efficient.

The structure was delivered as a turnkey solution, including full project management and installation handled by Spaciotempo’s in-house team.

The Installation

The installation process was swift and seamless, minimising operational disruption.

Spaciotempo’s project management team worked closely with Global Chair’s operational staff to ensure all works were completed safely and efficiently.

“It was just a very simple process,” explains Ed Yeldham, Finance Director at Global Chair Components. “The frame was assembled, laid down, and over the course of a week it was pulled up, ridge poles fitted, and suddenly we had a new unit. For the size of structure, it went up very quickly and easily.”

The result was a fully operational warehouse extension within days – providing immediate relief to Global Chair’s storage pressures.

The Result

The new temporary storage facility has proven to be an ideal solution, giving Global Chair full control over their inventory while eliminating costly external storage fees.

“Having this 1,500-pallet unit on-site allows us to have full control,” says Yeldham. “It’s worked extremely well for us. The Spaciotempo team were organised, hands-on, and delivered exactly what they promised. It does what it says on the tin.”

The new space has been well received by both internal teams and visiting partners, who have been impressed by the quality and functionality of the structure.
