Rockingham launches major automotive logistics hub

Rockingham – formerly Europe’s fastest race circuit – is set to launch a new 250 acre automotive logistics hub.

The 40,000 sq ft hub at Corby includes serviced office space and facilities for end-to-end automotive processing.

Stuart Wright, principal of Rockingham Group, said: “We have big plans for Rockingham and are on course to create the UK’s leading state-of-the-art automotive logistics centre.

“We plan to make a significant investment to redevelop and extend the facilities to prepare, de-fleet and remarket a greater volume of private and commercial vehicles. We will provide our occupiers with the capacity to handle PDI and de-fleet contracts in excess of 150,000 vehicles per annum.

“Rockingham offers the automotive sector great facilities and is already home to a number of leading automotive logistics companies including Groupe CAT, GEFCO, IT Fleet Automotive and City Auction Group. These companies provide a range of storage, refurbishment and remarketing services to dealer groups, rental companies, fleet operators, leasing and finance companies. As it develops, Rockingham will supply game-changing facilities to the UK’s automotive industry, due to its space, location, planning and infrastructure, which will include provision for electric vehicles.”

Rockingham is situated just off the A14 in Northamptonshire.
