Railex celebrates centenary

Railex Systems recently and proudly celebrated its centenary in fine style with a hugely successful event at the smart London showroom near Finsbury Square. For a British manufacturer to reach this achievement is a feat in itself, and Railex has established a definitive niche since 1908 as the leading name in filing and storage solutions for the commercial, education and health sectors.


A diverse mixture of customers, professional bodies and media gathered for a champagne reception and address by the chairman Howard Wilson – still the family owners – and then the party moved to the rooftop for an entertaining combination of fine wine, Paella and a golf putting competition which raised a sizeable sum for cancer care at the Royal Marsden Hospital. All in all, a night to remember.

Frem relaunches web site

frem is delighted to announce the relaunch of its new integrated online resource centre. The newly revised site features a wealth of valuable information on frem and its products including a comprehensive image library, in-depth case studies - both of which will be updated on a regular basis - a news and PR section and much, much more.


Bryan Daisy, Group Managing Director, comments: “The launch of our new and improved web site heralds a new technological beginning for frem. Our old web site, whilst visually very appealing and full of useful information, was relatively slow and was simply not up to the technological challenge of providing all of our contacts with the essential information that is now required on a regular basis.


“Our new and improved web site is technologically extremely advanced, is far quicker, more user-friendly and has been combined with a monthly e-newsletter. In today’s fast-paced environment, it is essential that we have the necessary tools to keep our key contacts up to date with all of the latest developments from frem and with over 1000 images available, the new frem web site provides one of the most comprehensive image libraries available today.” Please visit the new web site at
