Able signs major BMW deal creating 100 jobs
INDUSTRIAL services business Able UK has won a major contract with car maker BMW which will see them create 100 jobs.
Able will be expanding its vehicle storage and distribution operations in the Humber as part of the nine-year contract.
It will build a 46,284sq ft pre-delivery and inspection facility on Able Humber Port in Killingholme.
Due for completion at the end of 2017, the project will provide around 100 jobs and provide storage for over 10,000 vehicles on an approximate 60-acre site.
Able will provide the facility and it will be operated by the Grimsby-based GBA Group.
Able executive chairman Peter Stephenson said: “This is a major step forward in the development of Able Humber Port. We already have well-established large-scale vehicle and storage facilities and this new contract involves a further £25mm investment.
“We are delighted to have such a prestigious company as BMW Group as a new client. Able Humber Port is ideally placed for the kind of facilities required by major vehicle manufacturers, with both the space and the proximity to ports handling vehicle movements.”
Able is developing more land for the construction of its logistics park covering 1,200 acres. Able has full planning permission in place to create the depot and business park.
