What PD Industrial does

PD Industrial Ltd is a UK-based, privately held trade-only warehouse solutions provider founded in 2009 and headquartered in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire. The company designs, supplies, installs, and maintains pallet racking, cantilever racking, mezzanine flooring, warehouse partitioning, and industrial shelving for large UK enterprises in logistics, retail, and building-products distribution, operating UK-wide through a direct enterprise field-sales motion supported by an inside-sales function. It does not manufacture, sourcing racking components from UK and European manufacturers, which the company positions as a source of supply-chain agility and competitive pricing.

The company's core technology stack consists of two proprietary assets: the patented Reloskate system, a rack-and-pinion lifting mechanism that allows existing racking layouts to be reconfigured without dismantling (claimed to deliver up to 40% more space via VNA conversion); and Theia, a cloud-based digital inspection and maintenance management platform offering real-time warehouse health mapping, traffic-light prioritisation, automated reporting, and repair traceability, sold on tiered Bronze/Silver/Gold monthly subscriptions. Services are delivered by a team including SEMA-certified inspectors, dedicated major accounts managers, and project managers executing multi-contractor enterprise programmes.

PD Industrial's revenue model combines project-based professional services (warehouse fitouts, retrofits, relocations, inspections, repairs) with an emerging recurring-revenue software subscription layer through Theia. Service pricing is quote-based and project-specific; software is sold on monthly subscriptions. The company serves a concentrated set of named blue-chip customers including Tesco, DHL, GXO, CEVA Logistics, Primark, Homebase, Farmfoods, Rhenus Logistics, Wolseley, and Micheldever, with no disclosed external capital and founder-led ownership under Managing Director Darren Hardiman and Operations Director Trevor Deakin.
