St. Modwen Logistics supports growth of Wellingborough businesses

St. Modwen Logistics, one of the UK’s leading logistics developers and managers, has announced that two growing businesses – bespoke freight company Transglobal and leading paper merchant Premier Paper – have moved into St. Modwen Park at Stanton Cross, Wellingborough, supporting the Wellingborough business growth and bringing much needed local investment and jobs.

St. Modwen Park at Stanton Cross, Wellingborough is located within the logistics “Golden Triangle”, offering easy access to the A14 and A45 for east to west country connectivity, and quick links to the A1 and M1 road network.  Stanton Cross* is a flagship mixed-use development district for Northamptonshire which is gaining more than £1 billion of investment in Wellingborough by Stanton Cross Developments LLP. Once finished it will feature 1.5 million sq ft of high-specification industrial, logistics, leisure, retail and office space, in addition to opening up access to modern transport links and infrastructure. Furthermore, it will provide 3,650 new homes along with community facilities – offering a large local workforce for businesses looking to operate in or relocate to the area.

St. Modwen Park at Stanton Cross, Wellingborough offers 314,500 sq ft of sustainable warehouse space, initially comprising three buildings – 96,000 sq ft, 43,500 sq ft and the development of a further 175,000 sq ft speculative unit, which will start in Q3 2022. The initial phase has been delivered by principal building contractor, MCS Group. Future developments of 600,000 sq ft across three parcels of land will offer additional logistics space for the area.

Transglobal signed an agreement for the 96,000 sq ft building, which is a multi-use warehouse used to provide freight solutions by land, sea and air. The move will aid its rapid business growth and accommodate its customers’ evolving needs.

The 43,500 sq ft building has been let to wholesale paper and materials supplier Premier Paper. The unit will allow the company to expand into a larger warehouse space, following the diversification of the business. It will also facilitate its growth, and continue providing stocks of paper, print substrates and packaging to customers across the UK.

The completed buildings, at St. Modwen Park at Stanton Cross, Wellingborough, come with sustainability benefits including features such as PV solar panels, electric vehicle (EV) charging points and will deliver BREEAM Very Good and EPC A accreditations. Infrastructure has been installed to accommodate up to 20% of the parking spaces, which will be served by EV chargers.
