B&H Worldwide, a leader in aerospace logistics, has announced the expansion of its UK operations with the acquisition of a 6,000 sq ft office and warehousing unit at its existing site near Heathrow Airport. The move underscores the company’s commitment to providing fast, efficient logistics solutions to the global aviation sector.

The newly added unit, situated just a 10-minute drive from Heathrow, is strategically designed to support B&H Worldwide’s aircraft engine leasing client. This expansion will allow the company to offer a full 24/7/365 receipt and dispatch service, ensuring vital aviation components are managed with precision and speed, minimizing downtime for airlines and aircraft operators.

The warehouse features state-of-the-art security, including CCTV surveillance and compliance with Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) standards, as well as advanced climate control systems to maintain the ideal temperature and humidity for sensitive aviation parts. Additionally, the facility is equipped with specialized storage for hazardous materials, catering to a wide array of aerospace inventory requirements.

In line with its commitment to operational excellence, B&H Worldwide’s proprietary inventory management platform, FirstTRAC, provides clients with seamless visibility of their stored inventory. To date, over 7,000 line items have already been moved into the new warehouse, significantly enhancing the customer’s existing stock at B&H Worldwide’s Heathrow location.

Alan Barlow, Head of Operations – UK at B&H Worldwide, commented on the expansion, “This investment in our Heathrow headquarters underscores our dedication to meeting the evolving demands of the aerospace sector. The new unit not only expands our physical capacity but also enhances our ability to provide a truly responsive and secure inventory management solution for our valued customers, ultimately contributing to faster AOG recovery times worldwide.”

This strategic facility expansion will play a crucial role in reducing Aircraft-On-Ground (AOG) times, a key metric in the aviation industry. By offering dedicated, high-capacity warehousing solutions in close proximity to Heathrow, B&H Worldwide is further solidifying its position as a top-tier logistics provider for the global aviation market.
