A leading locker manufacturer from Bury St Edmunds has designed a unique storage solution especially for the Suffolk Police in the shape of a bespoke locker. Helmsman was delighted to help the strong arm of the law store their things with equal strength!
“With personal safetygear, belts, hats, boots and seasonal clothing, the current lockers were struggling,” explained Graham Chapman, project manager at Helmsman. “Suffolk Police approached us to design the answer to the storage problem of each officer’s various uniforms and equipment and of course we were pleased to have been given this challenge.”
Helmsman soon sent their design team to look at the items to be stored, listen to the customer requirements and within a couple of weeks they designed and built a prototype which was accepted by Suffolk Police. This was a double fronted 1775mm high by 500mm deep by 700mm wide locker that contained adjustable shelving, coat hooks and even a mirror on the inside door. In addition, an extra locker, for public order equipment, could stand on top or underneath the main locker if needed.
Andy Cutting from Suffolk Police explained what happened when Bury St Edmunds station took delivery of their supply: “Our Bury St Edmunds police station has received the first intake and I’m pleased to report that the locker room remains tidy, presentable and our officers can find their uniforms with ease. We are now planning to install these lockers all over the county thanks to this special Suffolk initiative.”
