MULTIMODAL 2015 PREVIEW ONWARD HOLDS KEY TO PRIME UK LOGISTICS SITES
Onward Holdings will offer a variety of solutions in response to the acute shortage of prime sites for warehousing and logistics operations in the north of England. These include key locations at Featherstone and Castleford in Yorkshire which are suitable for freight forwarding and businesses needing storage and/or a distribution hub in the region. Both are close to motorway networks for fast delivery to all parts of the UK, the Humber ports and regional airports. Two plots of up to 25,000 and 70,000 square feet respectively are available at Featherstone. These can be utilised for diverse applications subject to planning permission. The industrial estate benefits from excellent distribution connections and is close to the railway freight network via the nearby Wakefield Europort. According to Onward around 80% of the UK’s population is accessible in four hours, making the site ideal for bulk distribution items. The plot will be up to 12m eaves height and include good-sized yards, excellent loading facilities and advanced security systems. In addition, its purpose-built facility in

combined total of around 200,000 square feet of potential warehousing and storage space in Yorkshire. A significant knock-on effect of the economic recovery is the scarcity of available warehouse space due to companies becoming more confident of investing in supply chain facilities and the increasing demand from 3pl providers and e-retailers seeking additional capacity for their customer fulfilment centres. “Multimodal is an excellent platform for the business to promote the range of logistics options it has available to suit most budgets together with additional value-added warehouse services,” says director Neil Storey. “We believe that the different facilities that Onward Holdings offers can alleviate the lack of prime sites and help companies gain a vital foothold in the northern supply chain.” All the warehouse units can include 24-
hour security and flexible leases to help companies maximise their supply chains.
