Royal Mail’s Midlands Super Hub is the most recent development in a major expansion programme currently being progressed at DIRFT.
Sally Duggleby, head of leasing at Prologis UK, said: “DIRFT is our largest logistics property asset in the UK and second largest outside of the US, so to welcome Royal Mail’s Super Hub to the site’s portfolio is a fantastic addition."
In addition to new distribution centres, Prologis UK has invested in a 130-bay truck park for the drivers who service the park. The new lorry parking area accommodates overnight stays and provides around-the-clock security monitoring by DIRFT’s onsite team and police community support officers.
