ABOUT SHE

27 years in retail.
Built on knowing
the floor.

Storage & Handling Equipment was founded in the 1990s with one focus: supplying UK retailers with equipment that works as hard as the people using it. We still do that. Now we do more.

OUR STORY

We don't just supply equipment.
We understand your operation.

SHE was built from a straightforward conviction: that the people buying retail equipment know exactly what problems they're trying to solve, and they need a supplier who understands those problems as well as they do.

 

Over 27 years we've supplied trolleys, baskets and handling equipment to the UK's biggest grocery, DIY and fashion retailers. We operate from a 470,000 sq ft site in Teesside, one of the largest stockholding operations in the sector, which means we can move fast when our clients need us to.

In 2022 we launched DigitalSHE, combining our hardware expertise with smart fleet technology.

 

The same team, the same relationships, the same understanding of how retail actually works, now with the data layer that modern operations need on top of it.

Built for retail environments

Our products are engineered for the floor, not the showroom. TÜV-tested, high-frequency, real-world use.

UK-based, fast to respond

Our team, our stock and our support are all in the UK. No intermediaries, no delays, no passing the buck.

Long-term relationships

Most of our clients have been with us for over a decade. We're built on trust, not transactions.

Hardware meets digital

DigitalSHE connects the physical equipment you trust with the fleet intelligence you now need.

THE TEAM

The people behind
the products.

A family business at heart. Our leadership team has decades of retail supply experience between them and genuine relationships with the people they supply.
