Cavendish Hardware - More shelves and more stock.

We found that after doing an exhibition, enquiries would come in thick and fast for a week or two and then calm down a little, meaning our poor old fax machine was running at full tilt. Hard to believe now but back then, the fax machine was the way to go and emails came in now and again. No smart phones back then, just lots of phone calls and faxes!

So, to satisfy all of these new found customers, more shelves were constructed and more stock was put onto them. These shots were taken some time ago but illustrates that at that time, no shelf space was wasted!!!

Things have moved around a lots since then and not long after, we added a further 70 square metres of shelving - 96 shelves, in total - I know there are 96, as I have just counted them!!

It didn't stop there - not long after that came over a hundred Tote Tins and the racking to hold them - we were fast running out of space and still the fax machine was churning out more enquiries and orders.

We still have a fax machine! So, if you have one and you want to feel all "nostalgic", you can send us a fax!

The fax machine is on: 0116 2461545 . . . . I'll go and stand by it now!!

More common routes to find us these days are phone: 0116 2742195 or ping us an email at: sales@cavendish-hardware.co.uk
