It is famously said that a week is a long time in politics, which makes surviving for 25 years in the industrial sector as the equivalent of a lifetime – and this year has seen that landmark for sara, the noted loading bay specialists.
Based in Watford, the company was one of the pioneers in the field of high speed doors and since then has continually tracked the market and expanded into the highly respected operation of today offering totally integrated planning and product portfolios across every sector. Aside from the comprehensive door range – including the new machine protection version - the sara selection also now embraces scissor lifts, dock levellers and pods and ramps.
From those early days when loading bays and warehouses were – usually literally – at the back of everybody's perception, this aspect of commercial operations has now become a core and sophisticated operation. All of which is now reflected in the manner in which a professional supplier like sara goes about its business, as observed by managing director Mike Bunn" We pride ourselves on not just selling the easiest product at the best margin, but focusing on creating a rapport and understanding with the customer and providing them with absolutely the best solution for their particular needs. We were also the first company of its kind to concentrate on inbuilt health and safety as well as environmental considerations, which all translates into the most viable investment and total peace of mind for the customer. And we never say goodbye to anyone. Ongoing support and contact are crucial to enhanced success and optimum efficiency for all concerned".
What is also refreshing to note is that these sentiments are amplified by any sara customer you care to mention, in any industry. A typical recent installation of new doors at Swish Building Products in Tamworth is praised by their Project Manager Alan Foster " The new doors are a great improvement in terms of energy and temperature management, as well as the crucial health and safety factors with vastly improved visibility due to the clear view and the high speed action and knockout panels reduce the risk of impact and damage. The original steel shutters offered none of this and were regularly out of action. I was also impressed by the expert attention and enthusiasm of the sara people – they certainly know their job".
