In Coventry, a major processing and distribution warehouse worth over £35 million has been granted with work starting back in March over the next eight months. The Winvic site based in Lyons Park, which covers 4.7 hectares, follows the previous successful scheme with Amazon UK at Bardon, Leicestershire. Working on site is a Leicestershire based company called WM Building Services, who have chosen Smith Brothers Stores as their preferred supplier for the project providing materials such as; steel tube, weld fittings, Crane valves, Pegler Yorkshire Xpress, Polypipe Terrain soil and waste, Lochinvar water heaters and Lawton copper tubes.
Having serviced the HVAC market for over 125 years, SBS can deliver to the ‘Considerate Construction Scheme’ within the rules set within the accreditation. With local depots at Leicester, Birmingham and Northampton they are able to service the site effortlessly drawing from substantial stock levels. WM Building are members of BESA, building a reputation of quality along with being associated with NICEIC, MCS and Achilles Approved, along with existing Gas Safe, Watermark and RECC accreditations.
At Lyons Park, it is also planned that there will be high-tech industrial and office pre-let opportunities along with the car manufacturer (Jaguar Land rover) factory and distribution warehouse. From the site, it will generate thousands of local jobs, with 1,600 jobs alone at the distribution centre.
Lee Sutton, the managing director of WM Building Services said, “We are pleased to be associated with the major processing and distribution warehouse project in Coventry to follow on from the previous scheme for Amazon UK at Bardon, Leicestershire. Smith Brothers Stores remain dedicated to meeting our requirements by being one of the main supply chain partners to our business.”
