DP World has invested £34m in its largest warehouse, a 598,000 sq ft site in Coventry.
The warehouse was developed alongside SEGRO to meet a BREEAM Excellent rating and is part of a wider £50m UK investment programme that also includes facilities in Bicester and Burton upon Trent.
Denis Doyle, senior vice-president of operations at DP World, said: “The completion of the Coventry warehouse reinforces once again our commitment to meeting complex requirements and delivering best-in-class assets for our customers.
“Our £50m investment into the three sites at Coventry, Bicester and Burton upon Trent is part of a wider strategy to extend our reach into the UK supply chain.
“We have been building a unique array of assets and suite of capabilities, helping our UK and European customers stay competitive in a fast-changing and unpredictable trading environment, while serving the national interest.”
He added: “Together with the imminent opening of the £350m new fourth berth at London Gateway, this new platform for growth in the warehousing sector will drive forward our ambition to be the UK’s leading provider of end-to-end logistics.”
