Health & safety should always be your number one priority when installing a warehouse storage solution. Large fines can be incurred if your practices are found to be less than robust.

This month we’re reflecting on the decade gone by here at Horizon, and for us it’s an opportunity to tell our employees how proud we are of them for their vital part in how far we’ve come, as well as a chance to say a huge thank you to our valued customers for sticking with us over the years.
