High-tech food hub planned for Derbyshire

SmartParc, partnered with SEGRO, plans to deliver a 172,000m² high-tech food manufacturing and distribution campus on a 112-acre site at Spondon, Derbyshire.

As development partner, SEGRO will provide a multi-million-pound investment to regenerate the brownfield site. SmartParc will provide the onsite managed services, supporting the food community to increase production efficiency and drive reduced operational costs through collaborative working.

SmartParc said its revolutionary energy sharing infrastructure will utilise wind and solar, combined with central services, to deliver the most sustainable food production community in the country.
