Bullet Express, one of the UK’s fastest-growing logistics, distribution and storage businesses, has opened a new 67,000 sq ft logistics centre at Westway Park, Renfrew, Scotland’s largest fully enclosed industrial distribution and office park.

The new logistics centre will see Bullet Express increase its storage and distribution capacity by 14%, creating job opportunities for warehouse and inventory personnel within the local area.

The facility at Westway, which provides Bullet Express with easy access to the M8 and the new road link to Glasgow Airport, will have capacity for 12,000 pallets – 10,000 for racked storage and 2,000 for floor storage.

The new facility in Renfrew is the latest addition to Bullet Express’ rapidly expanding network which includes:

• Bothwell, Express Pallet Centre and HQ totalling 200,000 sq/ft. – network distribution.
• Baillieston, flagship Storage Centre totalling 210,000 sq/ft. – racked and floor storage.
• London Road, Glasgow Storage Centre, totalling 32,000 sq/ft. – high-bay racked storage.
• Glespin, Storage Satellite, totalling 50,000 sq/ft. – floor storage.

Established more than 30 years ago, Bullet Express is a full service logistics business with 150 employees providing a European road freight service, worldwide air and sea freight support and stacked storage for customers.

Westway, owned by Canmoor and Ares Management Corporation (ARES) provides industrial, warehousing, distribution and office space for companies of all sizes across a number of industries.

David McCutcheon, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer at Bullet Express, said:

“With our expanding client base, we simply needed additional storage space to facilitate this demand and business growth. Our new centre at Westway offers quality secure space, along with good eaves height, which enables optimum storage space.

“The location also offers excellent connectivity, particularly allowing for easy access to the M8 and the new road link to Glasgow Airport.

“We are installing racking throughout the site to accommodate 12,000 pallets of which 10,000 will be racked storage and 2,000 floor storage.”

Toby Saul, Asset Manager of Canmoor, added:

“The new team was established in March this year and we are delighted to welcome Bullet Express as our first new occupier.

“Bullet Express is an excellent addition to the quality occupier mix here at Westway and we wish David and the team every success with their expansion plans.

“We will continue to asset manage the park and continue the ongoing investment programme, which includes the refurbishment of Block J and Unit G1, with further infrastructure improvements and projects to be announced shortly.”
