Ingram’s Document Storage HistoryThe Company's founder William Edward Ingram (Bill as he was always known) in the 1950’s would combine using his van for his part time business as a carton merchant with carrying out local moves and deliveries for friends and neighbours. All this was in addition to his main job which was working for The Alligator Leather Factory in St Helen Auckland on the outskirts of Bishop Auckland. Bill would work 7 days a week, he was never happier than when he was working. Bill was proud to be the first owner in Bishop Auckland of a Ford Transit van in 1966, the first year of their production. By 1968 Bill’s eldest son Ian was running his own waste paper recycling company as well as assisting his father in his carton business. Unfortunately the recycling business was in its infancy in the 60's and was not the multi million pound industry it is today; however the carton business was steadily growing with Bill making more and more sale contacts with local textile and plastic companies in County Durham and Teesside. |
Ingram's Document StorageFast forward 40 years in which time Ingram's Removers and Storers had expanded into postal and express delivery services, retail funriture delivery, domestic removals and haulage. Through the 70s and 80s there were further developments with opening warehouses, joining the BAR and serving contracts for the British Army which meant there was further requirements of containerised storage and warehouse operations. COmercial movnig services were growing. The 90sThe significant shift from Domestic removal work to commercial moving was particularly welcome due to the housing recession which reached a peak in 1992. During this time Ingram's won contracts to provide document storage services for companies including the NHS, a local Accounting group and a pigeon racing club (talk about diverse!) Due to Ingram's containerised storage system this proved no problem and this area of the business continued to expand slowly. The New CenturyStill retaining a high profile in the North East and beyond with their domestic removals, container storage and commercial moving division, the year 2000 saw Ingram's venture into Document Storage and Archive Services; this business has steadily grown over several years with both the public sector and private sector storing their document archives with Ingram’s. In 2005 Ingram's expanded dramatically with the contract for the NHS-Primary Care Trust which was expanding. This meant the development of more advanced facilities and services for their clients; which has expanded so much in the intervening years that it was necessary in to open a purpose built warehouse purely to store clients documents. In July 2010 Ingram's open new depot for documentation record management - Century Court, Henson Close, South Church Enterprise Park, Bishop Auckland, DL14 6WA. Due to the success of Ingram's documentation storage, archive and record management services it was necessary in the summer of 2010 to open a second documentation storage depot to cater for the growing demand for commercial documentation storage. The premises were specifically designed internally to maximise space and vehicle manoeuvrability. Site Security System fitted and Managed by Barrier Surveillance.
