Warehouse Storage
When it comes to warehouse storage, it’s not just about fitting more in - it’s about making everything work better. From pallet racking and high-density systems to mezzanine floors, we design spaces that improve flow, cut down on bottlenecks, and make day-to-day operations that bit easier. The end goal is simple: a warehouse that keeps up with your business as it grows.

Commercial Fit-Outs
A good office isn’t just nice to look at - it should work for your team. We create spaces that support productivity, encourage collaboration, and reflect who you are as a business. Whether it’s a clean, ready-to-go CAT A fit-out or something more tailored with a CAT B design, we focus on building offices that feel right now and still work as you grow.

Warehouse Automation
Automation is where everything starts to move a little smarter. It helps increase pick speed, improve accuracy, and create a safer working environment - all while taking pressure off manual processes. In short, it gives your operation the consistency and flexibility it needs to scale without the growing pains.

1971
Where it all started
BSE UK began back in December 1971 as Frenchay Construction Services Ltd, founded by John Gainey in Bristol. In those early days, it was all about storage equipment and helping local warehouses keep things in order – simple, but essential.
1990–2000
Finding our feet
As the years went on, we grew steadily and built a solid reputation across the South West and South Wales. From pallet racking to mezzanine floors and partitioning, we became a trusted name for businesses looking to make better use of their space. In 2001, the business changed hands to Bob and Anne Hanley, with Dennis joining the team along the way.
Mid-2000
Keeping it in the family
In 2006, Dennis and Janet Ives took over the business and brought it into the Ives family. This was a big moment for us – and the start of a more ambitious chapter. By 2013, we’d also joined the SEMA Distribution Group, strengthening our place in the industry.
2016
The next generation steps in
George Ives joined as a director, bringing fresh energy, new ideas, and probably a few challenges to “how things have always been done” – all in a good way.
2018
A fresh look
We rebranded as BSE UK to better reflect who we’d become – a business working across the whole country. We also launched a new website, making it easier for customers to see what we do (and how we can help).
2021–2022
Growing our partnerships
We teamed up with AR Racking, which meant a wider product range, better availability, and even more ways to support our customers. Always a win.
2023
A new chapter in leadership
George stepped into the role of Managing Director, with Dennis moving into Chairman. A natural handover – keeping the family feel, while continuing to move the business forward.
2024
More space to grow
We moved into a new, larger headquarters in Chepstow – giving us the room we needed to keep expanding. That same year, we achieved SEMA Approved Member – Advanced status, recognising the high standards we’re proud to work to every day.

Looking ahead
We launched our mission: creating smarter spaces for growing UK businesses. We also expanded into commercial and office fit-outs, reached record turnover, and continued growing our team – because the journey’s far from over.
