The HSS Onsite packages can be tailored to suit customers' requirements, ranging from a 'hot-desk' in a pre-existing building to a double-stacked structure comprising full stockholding and training capabilities. Typical 'Onsite' packages would include a modular building housing shop facilities as well as equipment storage. There would also be personalised safety and directional signage throughout the site.
