When you ask the team to arrange a table for the office and this is what they create.

End of Day 5 ☀️

Mike and the team have been hard at it in the heat this week. All frames will be standing by Monday, and then it’s onto the finishing stages , beams, then rails.

Everything is falling into place, coming together as a thing of beauty and efficiency.

Great work, team! 👏

Another Southward Project Complete!

We’re excited to share a look at the brand‑new custom mezzanine our team has just designed and built for one of our clients!

This structure adds a huge boost in usable space, creating a strong, safe, and efficient upper level perfect for storage, operations, or future expansion. Built with durability and workflow in mind, this mezzanine is engineered to support growth and maximise floor area without the need for major construction.

🌞 Making the Most of the Sunshine!

The Southward team are hard at work building racking frames for our next 3,900‑pallet project.

With demand for kiwifruit storage ramping up, we’re supporting our customers to get installations sorted before the season rush kicks in.

From yard to warehouse, it’s all hands on deck to make sure everything is ready to go! 💪🍃

If you need storage solutions ahead of harvest, we’re here to help.

When was your last annual safety and compliance audit completed?

It’s best practice to have your racking audited annually, yet everyday loading and unloading can cause damage that isn’t always visible.

Annual racking inspections help identify hidden risks, protect your staff, and prevent costly damage to stock and equipment.

Our team carries out on-site annual racking audits, providing a detailed report that:

• Identifies damaged or non-compliant components

• Recommends corrective actions and controls

• Provides a quote for repairs and maintenance, if required

Ensure your warehouse remains safe, compliant, and operational.

Don’t wait until it’s too late!
