With temperatures forecast to reach 38-40°C in parts of the UK this week and the Met Office issuing rare extreme heat warnings, pressure on temperature-controlled supply chains is increasing rapidly. Recent forecasts suggest this could be one of the hottest June periods ever recorded in the UK.
Industry studies have repeatedly highlighted pressure on UK cold storage capacity. Research from Savills and the Cold Chain Federation found that demand for temperature-controlled warehousing has outpaced available supply, while more recent market analysis from CBRE continues to report demand exceeding supply for modern cold storage facilities. As heatwaves drive additional demand for chilled and frozen products, having quick access to overflow capacity can be critical for maintaining cold chain resilience.
Our rapidly deployable inflatable cold and frozen storage structures can be installed in hours, not months, providing instant additional capacity wherever it’s needed:
• Temporary overflow storage during heatwaves
• Seasonal demand peaks
• Emergency cold chain resilience
• Business continuity during maintenance or refurbishment
• Additional frozen or chilled storage at existing sites
Don’t wait until capacity becomes the bottleneck. Ensure your cold chain has the resilience and flexibility to cope with today’s extreme weather conditions and tomorrow’s growing demand.
The UK is heating up – is your cold chain ready?
