Developer Prologis has appointed Winvic Construction to deliver a new national distribution centre for Marks & Spencer (M&S) at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covering 120,773m2<\/sup>, the scheme is expected to be the largest in the world to achieve BREEAM<\/a> Outstanding certification while also targeting an EPC<\/a> A+ rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project represents a \u00a3340 million investment in M&S\u2019s food supply chain and forms a key part of the company\u2019s strategy to double the size of its food business. The development will combine temperature-controlled storage, advanced automated fulfilment, returns and recycling operations, and dedicated office space<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the 52-week build programme, Winvic will construct two low carbon<\/a> single-storey warehouses<\/a>, which include multi-storey office<\/a> accommodation, a security hub linked via a pedestrian bridge<\/a> and a vehicle maintenance unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable<\/a> features include a large-scale rooftop photovoltaic<\/a> array, EV charging, energy-saving technologies that will further reduce annual operational emissions<\/a> and extensive use of recycled<\/a> materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danny Nelson, Managing Director of Industrial, Logistics and Data Centres at Winvic, said: \u201c We are well placed to deliver large-scale projects that expand our temperature-controlled and cold store portfolio. Being selected by our long-standing client, Prologis, as the construction partner on this landmark distribution facility is a significant achievement for our team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
