We’re pleased to have let the entire site, particularly during the uncertainty of a global pandemic, providing a high-quality industrial and logistics solution that suits the needs of all our occupiers.”
Bob Clarke, Operations Director at allpack® Packaging, added: “As a leading packaging supplier in the UK, allpack® Packaging specialise in e-comm and fulfilment and this unit is just what we needed in the ever-changing current economy. We are a fast-paced, fast-growing company and to partner with St. Modwen has been a very smooth transition.”
