Beaverswood® Upcoming Exhibitions as part of IWS Group

As part of IWS Group, Beaverswood® will exhibit at two large-scale events in 2023, in the UK and USA respectively.

These exhibitions present a great opportunity for attendees to visit our stands and get hands-on with our products. See the value our products could bring your customers and discuss exciting new reseller opportunities with our friendly team.

ProMat 2023

Stand N6636, McCormick Place, Chicago, March 20th - 23rd

ProMat is a leading trade show for the manufacturing and supply chain industry.

Alongside Lean Inc., USA master distributor, Rack Armour® and Beaverswood® products will be showcased to potential USA resellers. The range includes the world's best-selling upright racking protection solution Rack Armour® (with a proven 800% customer ROI!), warehouse recycling solutions, labelling, visual management signage, and more.

Lean Inc is the master distributor in the USA and is actively looking to onboard more distributors across the USA for both Rack Armour® and Beaverswood® products. We will have several representatives from Lean Inc, Rack Armour®, and Beaverswood® on our stand, ready to explain how these innovative products can best support your organisation.

Safety and Health Expo 2023

Stand SH1650, Excel, London, UK, May 16th - 18th

Safety and Health Expo is the UK's largest dedicated event for health and safety. The show empowers health and safety leaders to shape healthier, safer, more productive and hazard-free working environments.

IWS Group returns to Safety and Health Expo to showcase innovative services, products, and solutions for the logistics, material handling, and industrial sectors in the UK and beyond. These range from planning, manufacture, and installation of racking and storage systems to warehouse labelling, floor marking, impact protection products, and more.

Joining the stand for the first time will be recent acquisition Anco Storage, the leading exclusively trade supplier of storage equipment. Its high-quality storage systems will be presented, some of which are highly versatile and simple to erect, boasting a build time of just 10 minutes.

Familiar faces will also make a reappearance as Beaverswood®, Brandsafe, and Rack Group return to display their products and solutions.

Beaverswood®, a leading manufacturer of visual management solutions, will be on hand to showcase its latest products to potential resellers, such as the award-winning racksack® mini. This is a smaller version of the original racksack® waste segregation solution, perfect for shelving, smaller racking areas, and workbenches, picking stations, desks, and more. Additionally, Modulean® rack end shadow boards, an innovative way to transform redundant end-of-aisle racking space into working space, will be displayed. All of this, plus Beaverswood®’s well-known offering of high-quality warehouse labels, aisle and bay markers, document display, and floor marking, will be on show.

Brandsafe, Europe’s leading provider of high-visibility impact protection and safety solutions, will be showcasing its traffic management and pedestrian safety products. This innovative range is being continuously developed, with all products designed to sustainably protect people, assets, and buildings from impact damage. One such range is the full impact polymer barrier range which requires no maintenance and uniquely absorbs impact to reduce barrier and floor repairs plus vehicle damage. Brandsafe also offers project consultation, bespoke design, professional installation, and ongoing support services for warehouse fit-outs. Brandsafe’s team of on-site installation engineers are highly qualified, skilled, and efficient, completing projects in the quickest, safest, and least disruptive manner possible across the UK and Europe.

IWS Group will also exhibit the world’s best-selling upright protection solution: Rack Armour®, which the business group designs and manufactures. Made from ballistics-grade plastic, the outer shell of Rack Armour® is shaped to divert impact energy around the rack leg instead of through it. Any remaining impact energy is absorbed by the interior foam until it’s diffused. This twin action protection uniquely helps maintain the structural integrity of the racking system – which saves tens of thousands of pounds in damage repair costs. IWS Group will be happy to discuss reseller opportunities for this fantastic product.

Huge value can be found in the combined strengths of all brands working together as part of IWS Group, and representatives from each business will be happy to discuss specific offerings as well as group-wide opportunities and projects.

racksack® mini wins New Product of the Year 2022 at the Best Business Awards

Beaverswood® announce its racksack® mini has been named New Product of the Year 2022 in the Best Business Awards.

The Best Business Awards are one of the UK’s highest profile awards, attracting a wide range of entries from across all sectors from large international PLCs and public sector organisations to dynamic and innovative SMEs.

“Congratulations to Beaverswood® for responding to customer research and launching a mini racksack®, which is smaller than the original version,” said the chairman of the judges, “Whereas the original racksack® is designed to collect and segregate waste and recycling materials at industrial premises, the mini does the same job but it is more suited to offices and smaller packing benches. Based on the same high-quality material and design, the compact mini enables Beaverswood® to expand its reach into new markets via resellers and direct to customers."

The racksack® range continues to lead the way in workplace waste segregation through its expanding family of products. First launched in 2009, racksack® has simplified the way businesses separate their waste, helping them to comply with waste regulations in the UK and EU. Not only this, but each racksack® saves 1m2 of valuable floor space on average, as well as providing a cost-effective and sustainable option versus standard black bin liners.

“We’re delighted racksack® mini has been recognised as an exciting, up-and-coming product!” said Stephanie Gentle, Managing Director of Beaverswood®, “racksack® mini is the direct result of customer feedback, who loved the original racksack® but wanted a smaller version for use in office environments. Customers continue to be a vital part of our R&D process and their feedback steers any enhancements to the racksack® range.”

Beaverswood® continues to innovate and launch new visual management products that improve efficiencies and safety across the workplace, with plenty more to follow in 2023 and beyond.

IWS Group Logo

We’ve had a makeover!

You may have noticed, we’ve given our logo and website a refresh…

MAKEOVER!

NEW LOGO

beaverswood new logo making the workplace work smarter since 1984

The new logo represents the modern Beaverswood – using colours to aid our visual communication solutions.

We realised it was important not to opt for a complete redesign, as our longest serving customers have trusted our brand for decades – so we decided for a gentle change, with a modern twist.

The addition of “EST.1984” is a proud nod to our 35 year heritage, and the incorporation of a coloured underline represents our new, innovative products. We firmly believe colour plays an important part in communicating visual messaging in the workplace.

making the workplace work smarter is what we do.

Since the very beginning we have manufactured innovative products that improve the efficiency, safety and sustainability of the physical workplace. Our vast range of solutions include labelling and signage, waste segregation and 5S visual communication boards. Our products add value in a wide variety of workplaces including warehousing and logistics, factories, offices, education and public sectors.

In conjunction with our new visual identity we asked ourselves, in one simple sentence, what are our goals and objectives, and how can we achieve them?

Our Vision:

A world where we have improved efficiency, safety and sustainability in every workplace.

Our Mission:

We’re on a mission to improve the efficiency, safety and sustainability of the modern workplace by continually innovating simplified solutions, which we deliver with specialist expertise and outstanding service.
