Mr. Anton Klein – Managing Director
Anton Klein: Biography
Anton was born on August 17, 1955, the son of a mathematician. He was raised in Shropshire. He began his early career in a company specialising in providing services to the retail industry and, from there, naturally progressed into the retail environment, where he worked in all aspects of the industry, from purchasing to store management.
Anton Klein, a man of significant influence and unwavering leadership, has been the sole shareholder and director, steering the development of the Packsafe Group for the past thirty-four years.
His role extends to being a member of Buildsafe Trading LLP, where his brother, a Barrister and Professor, provided initial support. The original company was set up to provide a range of services to the retail industry, including storage, distribution, pre-retail processing, packaging services, and a complete and comprehensive fulfilment service.
Over the years, Packsafe has built a solid reputation, serving a diverse range of businesses, including esteemed blue-chip household names like Peacock Stores Ltd, Wilson Sporting Goods, the Welsh Joint Education Committee, Amersham PLC, and, latterly, GE Healthcare.
In 2000, a review of the business identified that the key resources of the operation were fourfold:
• Flexible and extensive storage space.
• Vehicles ranging from small vans to 17 tons.
• Dedicated workforce.
• A ‘Can-Do’ attitude.
Mr Klein, therefore, decided to diversify and maximise the potential assets of the existing operation. The decision was made to start a domestic and commercial removals and storage company called A to Z Removals & Storage. This business was established in 2000 and has grown steadily by sales and by acquiring the assets of several other removal companies.
Growth by acquisition took place during 2003/2004 and 2004/2005 and was funded entirely from the group’s own resources. Throughout this period, further investment was made in developing the storage space in the company premises, i.e., mezzanine floors, a container storage park, and internal self-storage units. All these developments were financed from internal funding.In 2005, external funding helped purchase a building of some 20,000 sq. ft. and a two-acre plot of adjacent land.
This acquisition facilitated the consolidation of several leased and rented properties and supported the development of the Spaceman Business Park. The consolidation process continued in 2006, with the Group’s head office and internal storage units relocated. Subsequently, Mr Klein became a professional property investor, owning commercial, residential, and buy-to-let properties and flats.
The company has invested heavily in staff, I.T., vehicle fleet, premises, advertising and administrative processes. Packsafe Group Limited has continued to grow and our latest venture, The Rack King® is continuing to thrive by providing an impressive range of used pallet racking at extremely competitive prices.
