Palletforce to develop Europe’s largest distribution hub in Burton

Logistics firm Palletforce is set to double its footprint in Burton on Trent after Goodman revealed it is building a 260,000 sq ft distribution hub for the firm.

The new facility will be built next to Palletforce’s existing 379,000 sq ft distribution centre on Goodman’s Centrum Business Park.

The two buildings will form Palletforce’s new national distribution centre and will become Europe’s largest palletised distribution hub, capable of processing more than 30,000 pallets.

The new facility is due to be completed for mid-2017, Goodman says.

Goodman development director Nigel Dolan said: “We are very pleased to extend our relationship with Palletforce and have the opportunity to develop this important new facility, and play a role in the continued growth of their network.”

Goodman were represented by Cushman & Wakefield, CBRE and Avison Young.
