STOBART GROUP IS boosting its warehousing portfolio after applying to develop more than 1millionft2 of shed space in Widnes.
The haulage company has already developed a 500,000ft2 depot for Tesco as part of the Mersey Multimodal Gateway, of which it is a development partner, but its latest application to Halton Borough Council vastly increases its portfolio and would allow it to manage storage needs on behalf of third parties.
“It’s a development site, not necessarily to be used for Stobart storage and distribution,” says a spokesman. “The idea is that external parties would come and buy warehousing at the park and we develop it for them.
“There are also plans for a new office block, which could form a useful corporate space for the Stobart Group business.”
