Ede & Ravenscroft, United Kingdom
Ede & Ravenscroft, renowned supplier of ceremonial robes, required a storage solution that met several specific criteria: gowns, mortarboards, gloves and sashes had to be properly protected from dust, light and mites for long periods of time between use, yet needed to be quickly and easily accessible by staff during intensely busy periods. The solution also needed to be highly space efficient to fit the largest number of outfits into the smallest floor area possible.
Storing large number of outfits
The firm is best known for its famous mortarboards and gowns, hired for graduation ceremonies from the length and breadth of the United Kingdom. Over the past few years, the timing of graduation ceremonies has been compressed into just two or three weeks in July. Ede & Ravenscroft has had to respond to this change by stocking larger quantities of gowns to meet higher demand over a shorter period of time. This meant the company had to re-evaluate its storage needs and acquire new facilities close to its existing units in Cambridgeshire.
The interchangeable design is light and easy to operate, while being robust enough for our entire stock. The storage system can accommodate a huge number of outfits, making the system very cost effective.

Efficient and cost effective
Bruynzeel’s mobile shelving was selected as it provided the most efficient and cost-effective use of floor space. A characteristic of the 4m high mobile shelving system is its wide “floating” aisle, which at 3.6m enables Ede and Ravenscroft to have multi-person access to the storage, giving a more efficient workflow during busy periods. The high-quality finish of the units’ seals also prevents dust and light causing damage to the stock, while the mobile storage solution allows the maximum number of garments to be stored in the smallest area possible.
