IDI Gazeley (Brookfield Logistics Properties), a global investor and developer of logistics warehouses and distribution parks, has announced the completion of the development of a 5,202 sqm Parcel Distribution Hub for TNT in Swindon, in the UK which will serve customers across the South and South West of England.
'IDI Gazeley worked closely with TNT throughout the process to develop the build-to-suit facility in just 26 weeks. The building features 101 loading doors giving TNT maximum flexibility to allow a greater number of vehicles to access the facility at any given time, improving speed of operations,' it said in a statement.
On completion of the project, Simon Harper, Director of Operations at TNT UK, commented :
'This facility is our biggest infrastructure investment in the UK for 15 years, and the result that we’ve achieved has been first class. Working with IDI Gazeley we were able to develop the Parcel Distribution Hub to meet our exact needs, benefiting our business, our people, and most of all our customers.'
The Parcel Distribution Hub and adjoining depot is already in use and expected to be fully operational by the end of the year.
