Every last Friday of the month, it’s pizza time at Stamford Products 🍕
It’s a small tradition, but an important one - a chance for our teams to step away from desks and machines and finish the month together.
Great products are built by great people, and this is our simple way of saying thank you.
Here’s to finishing the month the right way 🙌

A big solution for big storage challenges! From small containers to huge IBCs, Mailbox has something for every materials handling challenge.
If your business requires bulk storage of products, whether liquids, solids, semi-solids or powders, our Maximover Intermediate Bulk Containers could be the ideal solution.
Maximover IBCs fulfil three key needs:
• The provision of versatile storage solutions for bulk goods
• The storage and safeguarding of materials against spillages and area contamination
• The creation of neater, cleaner working environments with fewer health and safety risks
Like the vast majority of products we offer, our IBCs come with a range of personalisation options for clear identification of contents, improved product handling safety, or even brand identify amplification.

🍃 The Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment
We understand that caring for the environment needs to be an integral part of the way we, and every other UK company, do business, and we are always exploring and implementing new ways to reduce our environmental impact. As part of this, we have signed up to the Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment.
The Evergreen Sustainable Supplier Assessment is an online tool developed by NHS England to engage NHS suppliers in aligning with NHS net zero and sustainability goals. It enables them to share their sustainability practices, receive a ‘maturity’ score against NHS priorities showing the level they’re currently at, and identify areas for improvement.
The assessment encourages signatories to:
• Establish clear sustainability goals
• Implement a robust tracking system
• Engage in open dialogue around sustainability
• Adopt the most environmentally responsible practices
• Ensure ethical supply chains
We are really looking forward to working through the Evergreen Assessment levels. We know all SPL companies and staff are 100% behind our group sustainability goals, and this pathway for progress is an exciting way to both recognise our achievements and drive us forward.
♻ Net Zero targets
The NHS’s target is to achieve net zero by 2040 for its directly controlled emissions (the NHS Carbon Footprint) and by 2045 for the emissions it influences (like those from its supply chain). The UK's net zero target as a whole is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

BIM modelling has really revolutionised design. We’re sure the new Medstor BIM files will be a huge help to hospital architects.
We’re looking forward to exploring the new Medstor website.
July has been non-stop in the Medstor offices, with so much going on that we’re all even busier than usual!
As well as designing, fulfilling and delivering innovative and effective materials management orders for our healthcare clients across the UK and beyond, we have also been working on two corporate projects that will further improve the service we offer.
The first is the updating of our BIM files to include new models from our wide range of HTM 71 and HTM 63 products. This will make it easier for architects or anyone else using BIM modelling to incorporate our solutions into their designs.
The other big story is the relaunch of the Medstor website, which has been totally revamped to include all our latest products and news – we can’t wait to show it off when it’s finished, so please watch out for more details.

We are very lucky to have our own UK manufacturing facility, equipped with the latest technology and staffed by skilled operatives with many years of experience.
This means we have:
• The capacity to deal with even the largest orders
• The autonomy to control our supply chain
• The flexibility to develop bespoke solutions in response to customer needs
We use rotational moulding, injection moulding and metal fabrication. You can read more about these processes on our website https://www.mailboxproducts.co.uk/about-us It’s important to us that we operate in an increasingly environmentally-responsible manner, so we are always looking for ways to make our manufacturing processes as eco-friendly as possible.
As part of this, we have committed to a major investment programme in new, more energy-efficient machinery for our manufacturing area. Our all-electric Negri Bossi injection moulding machine, for example, offers energy savings of up to 80% when compared with conventional hydraulic drive solutions, as well as substantially reducing cycle times due to fully overlapping movements.
