Developer of landmark logistics park anticipates 1,000 new jobs for town

DEVELOPER Logicor has completed its largest logistics development in the UK, three state-of-the-art warehouses totalling 800,000 sq ft in Daventry.

The development is expected to bring around 1,000 jobs to the town and will provide the space to enable expanding businesses to remain in the Midlands as they grow, the company said.

The park is part of the developer’s plans to deliver a total 1.8 million sq ft of premises in the UK this year. Three large developments are under way, the others being in Derby and Bolton.

Logicor Park Daventry, off Braunston Road, contains three warehouses of 385,000 sq ft, 280,000 sq ft and 135,000 sq ft.

Charlie Howard, the company’s UK managing director, said: “As our largest development in the UK so far, Daventry marks a major milestone for Logicor. Over recent years our capacity and expertise has grown rapidly, allowing us to execute some of the largest and best-located developments in the market.

“Logicor Park Daventry will create long-term employment opportunities and, as a modern, sustainable development, forms part of the key logistics infrastructure that enables the flow of trade across the UK.”

Logicor recently used the Daventry site to boost its Reach education and employability programme, working in partnership with The Talent Foundry to help raise awareness of the range of career opportunities in logistics real estate among Year 10 and 12 students.

Logicor Park Daventry is EPC A and BREEAM Excellent rated. Each warehouse features solar photovoltaic installations, generating renewable energy on site, while EV chargers support the use of electric vehicles. LED lighting illuminates the office and external areas and  the site has an outdoor gym and 2.2 acres of woodland, comprising 4,500 new trees.
