A multi-million-pound logistics warehouse has nearly been completed. The warehouse can be found at Great Blakenham. Bosses say that they are excited about the work that is taking place and that they are happy with the progress that is being made. The cladding is now up and the flooring is being poured. When the facility has been completed, it will provide 35,536 racketed pallet locations. They can be stacked nine levels high. 10,000 pallet spaces are to be handed over in around a week’s time. The facility is going to have 8,000 bulk-loaded pallets on various floors, along with space for barcoding, quality control and kitting. There’s going to be eight dock levellers, along with a 7.5-tonne hydraulic lift. This is going to be used to move cargo and people to the mezzanines. The scheme covers 59 car parking spaces, along with electric vehicle charging for 12 cars. You also have triple-storey offices, which cover over 6,600 square feet.

The company runs a warehousing service at a number of sites, including in Ipswich, Liverpool, Felixstowe and London. Louis Perrin, the director at Hemisphere has said that the new development is a huge step forward and that it shows how committed the company is to cutting down the amount of carbon in the supply chain. They are pleased at how progress is being made and it’s exciting to see that the vision as a whole is taking shape right now. They are eager to get the facility open and can’t wait for things to get moving again. To celebrate their achievements even more, they intend to open their doors in the summer, as the facility opens and they aim to provide a range of celebratory activities. They also want to give great insight into some of the strides they are making toward a more sustainable future. Curzon De Vere has said that they are very proud to be working on this project for the Hemisphere and they are also pleased to see the construction taking shape.
