The first phase of Croda’s huge new distribution centre at Goole is now complete.
The 232,150 sq ft development has been built through the pandemic, with JPG Group heading it up for developer Tritax Symmetry.
It is a substantial project on the Goole 36 Enterprise Zone, with Siemens Mobility’s train manufacturing to arrive on neighbouring land.
The FTSE-listed speciality chemicals manufacturer is to use the facility close to its Snaith HQ as its Customer Excellence Centre, distributing products made at the company’s 海角视频 manufacturing sites as well as handling European delivery of products made across its global network.
Croda has recently secured a key role in the Pfizer vaccination.
Leeds-based JPG is already familiar with the location having consulted over many years on the delivery of the adjacent 305-acre Capitol Park, a major distribution hub success story for developer Sterling Capitol.
Chris Harding, managing director at JPG, said: “We are delighted to complete our second project with Tritax Symmetry following successful delivery on the first phase £100 million logistics building at Symmetry Park Darlington. We have now also been retained for phase two proposals. This project presented a number of technical challenges, both associated with the geotechnical properties of the site and also the operational requirements of Croda Europe.”
The full civil and structural package incorporated infrastructure works and drainage for the site as well as structural engineering for the significant build.
