Portion Solutions, a UK-leading food packaging manufacturer, took possession of the new purpose built production warehouse in Telford from our client; commercial developer, Stoford.
The scheme has delivered a single high-specification warehouse and manufacturing unit of 123,000 sq ft on a 6.72-acre plot at Hortonwood 40, to the north of the borough of Telford and Wrekin. It includes ancillary office accommodation, car parking and landscaping, as well as a new access road to the building, which lies just off the A442.
Portion Solutions purchased the site from Telford Land Deal, a partnership between Telford & Wrekin Council, Homes England and the Marches Local Enterprise Partnership in order to combine its production and distribution operations at the new facility, securing the future of its existing workforce and creating new employment opportunities.
The warehouse is expected to be fully operational by spring 2023.
Angus Huntley, Director at Stoford said: “This is a first-class new production warehouse facility that is an impressive addition to a well established business location. The development will enable Portion Solutions to remain in Telford and unite its workforce in one single building, with the potential to sustain hundreds of jobs.”
Councillor Lee Carter (Lab), Telford & Wrekin Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood Services, Regeneration and the High Street said: “It’s really pleasing to see this fantastic warehouse and manufacturing space being handed over to Portion Solutions.”
