Secure document storage and scanning solutions you can trust
Since 1994, Ardington Archives has been a leading expert in secure document storage and management in Oxfordshire.
At Ardington Archives, we make document storage simple and secure. Whether you’re managing compliance files, reducing office clutter or going digital, our off-site document management solutions help your business stay organised and protected.
Document Storage - What we do
We work with many leading scientific, manufacturing and professional services companies, as well as government bodies and other public organisations. We offer secure document storage solutions you can trust.
Archive document storage provides the solution to storing large volumes of documents that are required for legal and compliance reasons, but are not required for day-to-day access. It provides a more cost-effective solution by allowing more efficient use of office space, whilst maintaining quick and easy access to documents and files.
Ardington Archives offers secure, compliant document storage for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re looking to archive legal records, financial paperwork or HR files, we provide safe, accessible offsite storage tailored to your needs. Our facilities are fully accredited, monitored 24/7 and supported by a dedicated team. We collect, store, manage and return your documents whenever you need them, helping you stay compliant and save office space.
New Services Now Available
We’re excited to introduce two new workplace solutions designed to support your compliance, security, and day-to-day efficiency.
We’re adding these services to help our clients stay compliant with new legislation.
Confidential Waste Cabinets
Discreet, lockable units for the secure collection of confidential documents – ideal for offices, receptions, and shared areas.
Integrated Recycling Bin Units
Stay ahead of new waste regulations coming into force from March 2025 with our sleek, space-saving bin units – built to help you separate waste with ease and meet legal obligations.
Both solutions are crafted with the same attention to detail and reliability you’ve come to expect from Ardington Archives.
Physical Document Storage
Secure storage of all your physical files and documents. We offer a choice of physical storage solutions to meet the varying requirements across a wide range of industries.
Digital Document Storage
Storing files and documents electronically instead of in physical form. This method of storage is becoming increasingly popular due to its convenience, accessibility, and the ability to easily search and organise documents.
Scanning
We provide a comprehensive range of document scanning and digital conversion services using state-of-the-art equipment. We can advise on the best mix of scanning and hardcopy storage to meet your specific needs.
Document Scanning & Storing
Document scanning offers flexibility and instantaneous access to documents without taking up valuable office or storage space. It can help control costs and can keep archive security at a premium as the digitised documents are in your control.
Confidential Destruction
We offer a confidential destruction service of both paper documents and electronic media. This is available to all storage clients or as a standalone service to companies and private individuals. A certificate of destruction is provided upon completion of the service, providing proof all confidential information has been securely destroyed.
Other Services
We offer a host of other specialised storage services including temperature and humidity controlled secure vaults, argonite gas fire suppression pods, alongside regular secure archive storage. We work with you to determine the best solution for your company.
Why Archive
Document Scanning and Storage: The Advantages of Archiving
In today’s fast-paced business world, having quick access to important information is crucial. Digitising and storing your documents can help streamline your work processes, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. In this blog, we will explore the many benefits of scanning and storing your documents electronically.
7 Reasons why you should consider document storage:
Improved Organisation
Gone are the days of spending hours searching through stacks of paper to find a single document. With digital document management, all your files can be easily organised, searched, and retrieved with just a few clicks. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of misplacing important information.
Space Savings
Digitally stored documents take up significantly less physical space than paper documents, freeing up valuable office space. This can also help declutter your workspace, reducing distractions and increasing productivity.
Enhanced Security
Digital documents can be password-protected and backed up, reducing the risk of theft, loss, or damage. This can give you peace of mind, knowing that your important information is secure and protected.
Increased Accessibility
Digitally stored documents can be accessed from anywhere, at any time, making it easier for remote employees or multiple locations to collaborate. This can greatly improve communication and coordination between team members.
Cost Savings
Scanning and storing your documents electronically can reduce the costs associated with printing, shipping, and storing paper documents. This can also help save money on supplies such as paper, ink, and file folders.
Environmental Sustainability
Digitising your documents reduces the need for paper, reducing waste and the environmental impact of paper production. This can help your organisation reduce its carbon footprint and support a more sustainable future.
Document Storage Compliance
Electronic document management can also help organisations comply with legal and regulatory requirements regarding the storage, availability, and protection of certain types of records. This can reduce the risk of costly fines and ensure that your organisation is operating within the law.
