Logistics firm moves into £60m warehouse facility
Logistics firm Europa Warehouse has moved into its new £60m warehousing facility in Corby, Northants.
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 sq ft dedicated to logistics and 100,000 pallet spaces.
The firm says it has already won a “substantial” new client contract which means that the facility is reaching capacity.
Maria Torrent-March, logistics director, said: “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.
“Despite the lockdown with all of its associated challenges every single department at Europa has worked tirelessly to open our new site. From the recruitment team hiring a brand-new team of 120, staff training, to designing and procuring IT and all of the operations. Well done to everyone for their spectacular achievements and efforts on this project.”
