Secure Document Storage in Essex

Essex, the large county that sits between the coast of the North Sea and the city of London, has an endless list of things to do. From the Roman ruins of Colchester Castle to the popular beaches of Frinton and Jaywick. 

Essex has attracted some major businesses, including MS Almin, IFDS and Grant Thornton, who have moved to the County. Essex is a fantastic hub for finance and economics, where it has enjoyed a rapid rate of growth due to the success of the financial, medical, research & development and manufacturing industries. Essex's close proximity to London only emphasises its importance to the country both from a financial and business point of view but in terms of leisure also.

Many SMEs in those industries across the county look no further than CAS for their secure document storage solutions.

Reduced insurance costs for Essex-based SMEs

SMEs in Essex who utilise CAS secure document storage can also benefit from reduced insurance costs. Insurers often allow you to reduce your costs if critical documents are stored off-site in secure fired-proofed facilities. This is due to the fact that off-site storage reduces the business impact of damage to premises, which therefore reduces the costs associated with business continuity plans.
