The five-year lease will enable P&O to further build its port and market-centric distribution centre strategy
P&O Ferrymasters, a European provider of customized transportation and logistics services, recently took occupation of the 231,000sqft distribution centre space on practical completion of the building.
The company was able to set up business immediately to manage and operate the new distribution centre, allowing it to meet increased market demand for warehouse and cross-dock activities at London Gateway.
Taking a five-year lease at the brand new LG231 facility will enable P&O to further build its port and market-centric distribution centre strategy. It follows the opening of a new Rotterdam distribution centre in 2019 and complements the P&O Group developments in Tilbury – activities which are more continental cargo focused.
LG231 is located at the heart of the Logistics Park and sits alongside DP World London Gateway Port, offering unique multimodal integration. It is Ferrymasters’ first facility in the UK supporting both imports and exports.
The primary focus of this facility is the Food & Beverage and FMGC industries but it is suitable for any vertical industry.
“This additional new warehouse capacity at London Gateway marks an important additional step in our plans to enable trade flows across Europe,” commented Mark Mulder, Director Contract Logistics, P&O Ferrymasters.
“Together we can offer unrivalled service for customers and possess the potential to radically impact the whole supply chain and enable the smarter flow of trade,” remarked Oliver Treneman, Park Development Director, DP World London Gateway.
