B&H Worldwide grows UK presence with new Heathrow facility
The company has expanded its UK operations by adding a 6,000 sq ft office and warehouse unit at its Heathrow site.
B&H Worldwide, a leading aerospace logistics provider, has expanded its UK operations with the addition of a new 6,000 sq ft office and warehouse unit at its existing site near Heathrow Airport. The move strengthens the company’s capacity and underscores its focus on providing fast, reliable logistics solutions for the global aviation sector, according to an official release from B&H Worldwide.
The new unit, located within a 10-minute drive of Heathrow Airport, is specifically designed to provide a dedicated inventory management solution for one of its aircraft engine leasing customers. This expansion enables B&H Worldwide to offer a comprehensive 24/7/365 receipt and dispatch service, ensuring critical aviation parts are managed with precision and efficiency around the clock.
The new warehouse is equipped with CCTV and other security features that meet Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) standards, along with advanced temperature and humidity controls to maintain ideal conditions for sensitive aviation parts. It also features dedicated dangerous goods storage, enabling the safe handling of a wide range of aerospace inventory.
Customers will benefit from seamless visibility of their stored inventory through B&H Worldwide's proprietary inventory management platform, FirstTRAC. To date, over 7,000 line items have already been transferred into the new facility by the customer, augmenting their existing inventory held with B&H Worldwide in Heathrow, the release added.
This enhanced capacity to hold high volumes of inventory is a crucial step towards further reducing Aircraft-On-Ground (AOG) times for carriers globally. By providing a dedicated, strategically placed warehousing solution for one of the major players in the aviation industry, B&H Worldwide continues to reinforce its position as a best-in-class logistics service provider.
“This investment in our Heathrow headquarters underscores our dedication to meeting the evolving demands of the aerospace sector. The new unit not only expands our physical capacity but also enhances our ability to provide a truly responsive and secure inventory management solution for our valued customers, ultimately contributing to faster AOG recovery times worldwide,” says Alan Barlow, Head of Operations, UK at B&H Worldwide.
