About Flightcase Warehouse

Our Beginning

The Flightcase Warehouse began 30 years ago when Steve Austin (the Director & Creator of the company) was selling telecoms systems, which to his own admission "he was really rubbish at". He was travelling around with the phones in cardboard boxes, when he came up with a bespoke bag to carry them all in. This bag did so well that Steve resigned and started making bags which then turned into the first Flightcase for telecoms.

Due to the interest in the telecoms display case, Steve built the first order of 30, by hand and it's a bit of a running joke within the company, just how bad they were.

The turning point came when Steve got a call back in the very early 90s from a member of UB40's crew, who asked for some touring cases. Flightcase Warehouse was also the first company ever to build a monitor wall cinema flightcase for F1 for the Williams team back in ‘91-‘92. Since then the company has grown from strength to strength, moving from a 250sq ft rented, shared factory space in Birmingham to the current office, workshop and warehouse unit which is 60,000sq ft space, in Tamworth.

Each move gave the company more space to grow and grow it did, holding on to Family Values that were there at the start, has always been important to Steve and the team, they still run deep through every member of staff within the company from the directors, to office staff, to design, to the assemble team, to warehouse and despatch.

Our Values
Integrity - it's important for us to do the right thing by our staff and our customers, if we've made a mistake, we will do our upmost to rectify it.

Value for Money - ensuring that our products are of a high standard and always worth the money spent on them.

The Last 10 Years
Current Managing Director, Sam Austin started just as his dad did, building cases, out in the workshop though and not a shed, as the other directors within the company did and have all worked their way up to the position they currently hold. They all have the expertise and experience that the company prides itself on, their knowledge is at the level it needs to be to ensure all customers are happy and if they're not, the team can amend it. Sam has worked his way up through the company, studying at night school for his Business Degree meaning he was able to take the business to the next level and keep driving it forward with the team that is currently in place - Jason (Sales Director) with the company for around 20 years & Steve our Operations Director, who's been with the company for around 15 years.
