Logistics firm to deliver 300 jobs with move to Derbyshire warehouse

Hundreds of new jobs are on the way to the East Midlands as a logistics company moves into Panattoni Park J28.

Super Smart Service, a warehouse solutions and last-mile delivery firm, has signed a lease for a 345,284 sq ft unit at the site, creating around 300 new roles and injecting £8m into the local economy.

The company, operating under the legal name CIRRO Fulfillment, will use the new space to expand its operations.

Super Smart Service already runs more than 10 warehouses across the Midlands, working with couriers like Royal Mail, Yodel, Hermes, China Post, and DPD to process and dispatch parcels for retailers including eBay and Amazon.

Charles Lu, head of business development Europe at CIRRO Fulfillment said: “Our new agreed lease at Panattoni Park J28 provides a great base for us to expand our operational capacity and reach, and serve more domestic businesses. The size and location of the unit is crucial in our provision of second-to-none storage and distribution, and we are pleased to have worked with Panattoni to find a unit that suits our specifications and needs, and support the creation of approximately 300 new jobs and a predicted £8 million generated in the region as we continue to drive the recovery of the UK economy.”

The park located in South Normanton, Derbyshire, also has a second, 231,191 sq ft unit available for immediate occupancy.

Both buildings feature facilities, including 15m eaves, 50m service yards, and two-story hub offices.

In line with sustainability goals, they have been awarded a ‘Very Good’ BREEAM rating and an EPC rating of ‘A’.

Andy Preston, head of development, North Midlands and Yorkshire, at Panattoni said: “The M1/J28 is a strategic logistics location in the East Midlands, and Super Smart Service will benefit from easy access across the UK to ensure reliable and prompt delivery to consumers across the country. This letting will boost economic growth in the region, and showcases Panattoni’s ability to identify strategically-located sites and develop high-spec, state-of-the-art, sustainable buildings for use.”
