Construction of the steel frames is set to start later this month on the two high-specification warehouse distribution units totaling 772,340 sq ft.

McLaren’s contract also includes the delivery of hardstanding, service yards, car parking, landscaping, mains services and drainage across the site.

Gary Cramp, Managing Director at McLaren Construction Midlands & North, said: “We are pleased to have been appointed by Mountpark to deliver Phase 2, further strengthening our longstanding expertise in the industrial and logistics sector as a region and continuing our successful relationship with one of the UK’s leading developers.

“The scheme will deliver two high-quality, sustainable warehouse facilities that are designed to meet the evolving needs of future occupiers while creating lasting benefits for the local community.”
