Redcar and Middlesbrough-based retailer Rubberduck Bathrooms has expanded its warehousing facilities and acquired an additional 6,000sq ft of storage space, bringing its total warehousing capacity to 18,000sq ft. The company says that this strategic move will enable it to better serve both local and national customers, as well as support its plans for future growth.
The new warehouse is conveniently located next to the company’s existing storage facility. When the neighbouring unit became available, Rubberduck Bathrooms recognised the potential it offered to enhance operations and expand its product range. The additional space will allow Rubberduck Bathrooms to stock an even wider range of bathroom products and new product lines.
“At Rubberduck Bathrooms, we’re always looking for opportunities to progress and grow the business,” said a company spokesperson. “When the chance arose to acquire the warehouse right next door, it was too good an opportunity to pass up... Speed and reliability are crucial in this industry, especially for local tradespeople. This new facility allows us to meet their needs more effectively and build stronger relationships within the community.”
One of the key benefits of the expanded warehouse will be the ability to better serve local plumbers and installers. By holding a larger inventory on-site, Rubberduck Bathrooms can provide faster access to essential products, making it easier for professionals to get the supplies they need when they need them.
The expanded space also paves the way for Rubberduck Bathrooms to introduce exciting new product categories. One highlight of this growth is the planned addition of a comprehensive range of tiles, which will be available both in-store and online. These tiles will cater to a variety of styles and preferences, appealing to both local customers and those across the UK.
“Branching into tiles is an exciting new chapter for us,” the spokesperson added. “With the extra space, we can offer an extensive selection that complements our existing bathroom products, giving customers more choices for their renovation projects.”
