Construction firm chosen for Worcester warehouse project

Stoford has selected a construction firm for its latest project to build a 62,413 sq ft industrial warehouse at Worcester Six Business Park.
Glencar will construct the development for national food service company Bidfood, which supplies over 10,000 products to more than 45,000 caterers and food service businesses across the UK.
The project marks Bidfood’s first facility in the region, featuring a build-to-suit building on Plot 8A.
Construction, which began in early April, will include infrastructure works, the installation of an attenuation tank and photovoltaic panels, and the construction of a POD office, service yard, and parking spaces.
The project is expected to take 28 weeks, with practical completion anticipated in Q4 2024.
Pete Goodman Glencar managing director, of the Midlands and North said: “Repeat business is the best business and so soon after being appointed at Stoford’s Exeter Logistics Park development we are delighted to receive this second instruction in quick succession. Both projects are built to suit developments, bespoke to each occupier’s requirements and another example of Stoford’s impressive reputation as a developer of leading-edge industrial/warehouse developments for individual occupier requirements.
“We are also delighted to be delivering for Bidfood and creating a facility which will help to serve the extensive numbers of caterers it supplies each month together with being a vital cog in the UK’s food delivery logistics network. We’ve assembled a first-class team on this project and look forward to delivering an excellent outcome to be further extending the scale and scope of the facilities at Worcester Six Business Park which is one of the region’s premier logistics parks and a real success story.
