Europa Warehouse has moved into its new £60m state–of–the–art 3pl facility in Corby on schedule.
Despite the impact of Covid-19 and a huge number of obstacles which this presented Europa’s construction team and partners completed the project, and the warehouse is now operational.
The team has already won a substantial new client contract which means that the facility is reaching capacity.
Award-winning facilities
Europa Worldwide Group is an ambitious independent logistics operator and Europa Warehouse is its specialist 3PL warehousing and logistics division.
Located on a 25-acre site at Midlands Logistics Park, the ground floor of the new Corby warehouse alone is equivalent to seven premier league football pitches with 715,000 ft2 dedicated to logistics and 100,000 pallet spaces.
State-of-the-art site
This new facility doubles Europa Warehouse’s logistics portfolio and has been constructed to a high-quality specification, including above market standard 18 metre heights to facilitate three floors of mezzanines. To maximise the height of the building, racking has been built to nine levels and utilises the very latest VNA technology.
Despite the massive impact of Covid-19 bringing with it changes to regulations, working practices, and Government guidelines regarding social distancing the project remained on track.
Maria Torrent-March, Logistics Director comments: “We’re delighted to mark a great beginning for this amazing new state-of-the-art facility. I am hugely proud of the team for winning this major new contract and how everyone responded so positively in getting the facility ready.”
Andrew Baxter Managing Director at Europa Worldwide Group added. “We’re pleased to have completed Corby which has been made possible because of the team, both internally and our external partners.”
