Work starts this month on a multi-million-pound distribution warehouse in south Staffordshire.
Caddick Construction has been awarded the £12 million contract by Staffordshire Pension Fund to build a new 100,000 sq ft logistics hub at Vernon Park on Cannock Road, Featherstone, next to the M54 and near to the M6.
And the company is looking to work with local suppliers and sub-contractors to help deliver the project.
Caddick will deliver the two-storey base-build to accommodate manufacturing, storage and distribution. The contract will see them also install loading doors, dock leveller equipment, fire escape staircases, lifts and ancillary spaces.
The project will also feature the creation of access roads, hardstanding, car parking, cycle storage and external landscaping at the new development at Junction 1 of the M54.
The project adds to Caddick Construction’s growing portfolio of industrial developments across the Midlands and the North, which includes projects on behalf of Network Space and Chancerygate.
Ray O’Sullivan, Regional Director of Caddick Construction Midlands, said: “We are building a healthy project pipeline in the Midlands, which is flexing our expertise in a number of our core sectors, including residential, commercial offices, and industrial and logistics.
“We have an excellent team in place to deliver Vernon Park, and we will be working with suppliers and subcontractors across the West Midlands and Wolverhampton to support our delivery of the project.”
The design and consultant team at Vernon Park includes UMC Architects, Virtus Consult as project managers and quantity surveyors, Rodgers Leask as structural and civil engineering and M&E engineers, Couch Perry Wilkes.
