Spades in the ground for the first building at West Midlands Interchange

Winvic Construction has been appointed by Logistics Capital Partners (LCP) to deliver a new depot for Carlsberg Britvic, which will be the first scheme at the West Midlands Interchange (WMI).

The WMI is a transformative £2 billion national logistics hub at Junction 12 of the M6 near Wolverhampton, which is being developed by LCP and Oxford Properties.

Set to complete in Spring 2026, the 67,056m² two-storey depot will feature state-of-the-art facilities to support the company’s growing logistics needs.

Designed with a focus on energy efficiency and building performance, the depot is targeting BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC A+ ratings, as well as net zero in operation. In addition, it will include high-efficiency heat pumps, rainwater harvesting and roof top PV panels.

Danny Nelson, Managing Director of Industrial, Logistics and Distribution at Winvic, said: “During our early contractor involvement and delivery of significant civils and infrastructure works, we have built collaborative relationships with Oxford Properties and LCP, so we are perfectly placed to deliver the first depot at one of the UK’s largest and most environmentally conscious intermodal logistics parks.”

David Bodily, Property & Facilities Director at Carlsberg Britvic, said: “The WMI will play an important role in Carlsberg Britvic’s logistics network, as the home to our regional depot.”

When complete by 2034, WMI will offer over 2.4 million square metres of commercial space across the 734-acre site, becoming the UK’s largest intermodal logistics park. It will offer a range of units, all supported by a dedicated rail hub that will enable efficient movement of goods around the UK.
