Speaking about the contract award Pete Goodman, Glencar Managing Director Midlands & North said: “Trebor are without doubt one of the most active, leading developers in the I&L marketspace so we are naturally delighted to have been appointed by them for the first time.
Our values and philosophy are very well aligned to that of Trebor in terms of our pursuit of excellence and sustainable building practices in all that we do.
This development sits in key strategic location in the well-established industrial area along Weston Road (A532) and together with the high specification and array of sustainable features built in is likely to be a compelling proposition for occupiers seeking to base their operations in this area.
We very much look forward to working with the full professional team on this project and delivering an outstanding outcome.
Also in comment Mark Wright, Partner at Trebor said: “Having successfully completed demolition works onsite we are now excited about the next phase of work onsite and starting vertical construction in this key location for logistics and distribution.
We are very pleased to be working with Glencar for the first time who come with a first class reputation and recent track record.
This development offers significant potential, with strong levels of interest at this early stage and we look forward to seeing the construction phase for completion next Spring.”
