With SBS servicing the HVAC market for over 125 years, we could adhere to the ‘Considerate Construction Scheme’ rules at the site. The bulk of deliveries were supplied by SBS Leicester with SBS Oldham and SBS Merseyside branches available to service any back orders or additional product requirements on site effortlessly drawing from substantial stock levels. WM Building is a member of BESA, building a reputation of quality along with being associated with NICEIC, MCS and Achilles Approved along with existing GasSafe, Watermark and RECC accreditations.
The location has become a central hub for businesses, including the supermarket chain Aldi and postal company Whistl. Situated near junction 4 on the M61, the site will generate thousands of local jobs, with 1,200 jobs alone at the distribution centre.
Jack Briggs, Mechanical Project Manager from WM Building Services said; “We are thrilled to be working on another Amazon warehouse distribution project following our success at previous developments (Lyons Park and Bardon). Smith Brothers Stores team have supported us on this project with exceptional service and remains a key component in our delivery strategy.”
