Streamlining operations at a UK distribution center is a complex challenge—but one that IAE Contractors tackled head-on. In the heart of London, a major logistics hub was facing performance issues, inefficiencies in its loading zones, and rising safety concerns. That’s when they turned to IAE for a strategic, well-managed transformation.
This case study highlights how our contracting expertise helped optimise internal workflows, improve parcel throughput, and implement safer, smarter site layouts—without any operational downtime.
The Challenge
The client was operating a 160,000 sq. ft. distribution center with outdated infrastructure, leading to:
- Traffic bottlenecks during loading/unloading
- Poor internal flow design
- Recurrent safety violations
- Equipment wear due to poor floor conditions
These issues not only reduced efficiency but also posed long-term operational risks.

- Warehouse layout optimisation
- Installation of safety signage and protective barriers
- Flooring and fixture reinforcements
- Loading dock redesign
Throughout, our goal was clear: enhance performance while keeping business moving.
Quantifiable Results
In just under 60 days, the impact was substantial:
- 27% improvement in loading efficiency
- 18% faster parcel processing
- Zero safety incidents post-implementation
Our proactive scheduling and agile site coordination ensured that all phases aligned with the client’s business cycles.
