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. ![GLOBAL LOG0 FULL COLOUR](/uploads/generic/_AUTOx100_crop_center-center_none/GLOBAL_LOG0_FULL_COLOUR.jpg) ![Large warehouse with worker driving a vehicles into the open rolling door. with a lorry parked nearby](/uploads/generic/Sectors/Sports/_2800x2000_crop_center-center_none/Klip-Video-Still-2026-02-20-1111am-2.jpg) ## 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. ![two workers going for a walk through a warehouse full of shelving with wrapped parcels on them.](/uploads/generic/Sectors/Sports/_600x600_crop_center-center_none/Klip-Video-Still-2026-02-20-1111am.jpg) ![an alley way with either side storage with shelves under a temporary building](/uploads/generic/Case-Studies/Global-Chair/_600x600_crop_center-center_none/Klip-Video-Still-2026-02-20-1109am.jpg) ![two workers one in high-vis talking and walking through an alleyway made of boxes](/uploads/generic/Case-Studies/Global-Chair/_600x600_crop_center-center_none/Klip-Video-Still-2026-02-20-1110am-1.jpg) ![rolling shutter door entrance with a worker on a vehicle and storage shelving](/uploads/generic/Case-Studies/Global-Chair/_600x600_crop_center-center_none/Klip-Video-Still-2026-02-20-1110am-2.jpg) ![over head view of the storage within a temporary warehouse](/uploads/generic/Case-Studies/Global-Chair/_600x600_crop_center-center_none/Klip-Video-Still-2026-02-20-1110am-3.jpg) ![looking up in between the storage shelving looking at the warehouse ceiling](/uploads/generic/Case-Studies/Global-Chair/_600x600_crop_center-center_none/Klip-Video-Still-2026-02-20-1111am-1.jpg) Previous Next ## The solution (01) ### 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. ![Decorative blurred photo](/dist/images/cs-details-blur-lg.png) (02) ### 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. ## Global Chair Components - Expanding Capacity with a bespoke temporary warehouse solution Watch the full case study now.
