We are continuing the expansion of our portfolio of industrial and logistics projects into the Midlands market using our strong foundation of experience and client relationships in the South East.
Our continued growth in the Midlands market is evidenced by a steady stream of projects in areas including Daventry, Wellingborough and Lutterworth – having already completed projects in the region across a total of 446,000 sq ft, totaling £6.8m. We also have an additional £8m over 647,000 sq ft currently underway, and several projects awaiting client instruction. Demonstrating our clear focus on scale and quality, several of the projects delivered in the region have been in the big box category – exceeding 200,000 sq ft.
Ashley Williams, Contracts/ Commercial manager at Pexhurst said: “We’ve come a long way since our first project completion in the Midlands – continually developing existing relationships whilst strengthening new supply chain partnerships. One of the exciting things about working in the heart of the Golden Logistics Triangle in the Midlands is that we are able to draw labour, materials and new innovations from all the surrounding areas, making projects quicker and more affordable for clients.
“The projects in this region are truly Pexhurst’s bread and butter – large scale warehouse refurbishment to be used as logistics and distribution centres. This differs from what we are seeing in London and the home counties, which are more focused on last mile, multi-let and urban logistics.”
Ashley continued: “The team at Pexhurst is very well versed in completing BREEAM projects, having successfully delivered the world’s first industrial project to achieve BREEAM Outstanding – and many more since. It’s great that we can bring our skills and knowledge to both new and existing clients in the Midlands as they bring facilities up to date and strive to create more sustainable warehouse spaces.”
As well as using this opportunity to grow our existing client base, we are also building on our portfolio with established clients in this region. One such partner is Prologis, with which we have previously completed numerous projects in the South East.
Paul Johnson, Director of Operations at Prologis said: “We’re now collaborating with Pexhurst on a third project in the Midlands. They’ve consistently delivered to a high standard, with the recently completed refurbishment in Daventry standing out as one of the most well-executed projects we’ve delivered. At Prologis, our focus is on delivering high-quality facilities, so it’s vital to work with partners who bring real expertise in sustainable construction—especially as features such as PV panels and EV charging become essential to how we build for the future.”
In line with our continued expansion into the Midlands, Pexhurst will be attending major property and construction conference UKREiiF in Leeds from 20th to 22nd May.
