About Us

---

In 1870 whom amongst our founding fathers could have imagined the prodigious success which today’s Barkingside Premier Storage has become? Starting originally as bargees on the Thames, they graduated to become the pre-eminent bonded warehouse keepers in the Port of London. For over a century, they served the wine and spirit trade with its very different needs.

With lifetime careers in the drinks business, Ben Jones and Alf Allington saw the opportunity to build on this solid reputation, into what has now become the largest and most successful privately-owned tax warehousing company in the UK. We provide an unrivalled comprehensive and sophisticated drinks logistics service, supported by cutting edge IT systems, achieving the highest level of operational excellence at competitive rates.

Many years ago, the chance of further developing the fast-growing fine wine aspect of the business continued with the acquisition of Vinothèque. More recently this has now expanded into Melksham and Dinton, all ideally equipped with temperature and humidity controls demanded for the cellarage of such sensitive products.

Over the years we have been fortunate in adding to our strengths the finest team of dedicated directors and senior management in the business, supported by long serving and experienced staff. Now responsible for 8 million cases in 2,000,000 ft2 of warehouses and operating a delivery fleet of up to 300 vehicles, we are nevertheless always conscious of maintaining the ‘family’ character of the company. As a result, our customers receive a truly personal service from people with names, who care, and are always available.

We look forward to working with you as your drink’s logistics partner.
