LOGISTICS AND INDUSTRY ACROSS THE REGION

East Midlands Airport ranks as the UK’s second-largest freight airport after Heathrow, and logistics accounts for 9% of regional jobs. Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and Lincoln all have manufacturing and healthcare sites with no tolerance for downtime. Our Nottinghamshire team covers the region, and you can read how to keep your business running.

At a depot or warehouse, a loss of supply can stop loading, refrigeration, lighting, communications and routine operations. Manufacturing premises may have production equipment waiting to restart, while healthcare sites must manage the effect on daily services. Planning for continuity starts with identifying essential loads, the practical space for equipment and the point at which a temporary supply is needed.

We provide 24/7 emergency generator hire for organisations dealing with an outage, as well as standby generators for planned resilience. Our engineers also carry out generator servicing and maintenance to help keep installed equipment ready for use.

If you are at home, the freezer holds its temperature longer when nobody opens it. Light the house by torch, unplug delicate electronics, and look in on older neighbours if it is safe to go out.

SNOW, WIND AND THE REGION’S NETWORK

When Storm Goretti arrived in January 2026, its heavy snow snapped lines across the Midlands and Wales, cutting supply to around 15,000 homes. If someone at home is older or depends on medical equipment, the household may be eligible for the Priority Services Register.
