BUSINESS is booming for a Hartlebury-based company which aims to ease clutter for companies by storing and managing important documents for them.

Whitefoot-Forward Records Management took over a former Ministry of Defence laboratory and test centre at Hartlebury Trading Estate last October where it maintains a 24-hour guard.

"Essentially, we help businesses to improve their efficiency, whether slashing storage costs, sorting and removing mountains of paperwork, releasing valuable operating space or cutting filing and finding times," said managing director Michael Whitefoot.

"We keep some records in `deep' storage ready to destroy at a future date, but many clients need a day-to-day retrieval and delivery service of individual items, so we pinpoint records in minutes and can return them for immediate use."

The firm, which employs three permanent and two temporary staff, is expanding rapidly and is already planning to move into larger premises within the area. Once a location is established, the company aims to set up a network of additional facilities close to key towns across the Midlands.
