Plans for two brand new South West hubs have been revealed by leading logistics network, Pall-Ex Group, as it earmarks an £8 million investment for strengthening its services across the region. The South West peninsula, often known as the ‘final frontier’, has historically been one of the most challenging delivery locations in the UK due to its landscape. In spite of that, the region has been dubbed a ‘logistics hot spot’, with brands like Pall-Ex continuing to see year-on-year growth. Now, businesses throughout the region will soon benefit from the launch of two new facilities in Willand, Devon (Pall-Ex South West), and Launceston in Cornwall (Pall-Ex Logistics), giving them access to a range of haulage services including next-day palletised freight distribution, warehousing and storage. Pall-Ex South West’s 218,000 sq ft hub in Willand, Devon, is expected to be completed by Summer 2026. While existing staff will relocate to the new site—located less than half a mile from the current facility—the expansion is expected to increase its local workforce by 15%, with roles spanning customer service and night planners, to warehouse and forklift operators. Its plans to recruit will enable the site to double its operational limits and process an excess of 60 vehicles per night across the two new sites. Meanwhile, the Launceston hub—a 114,000 sq ft purpose-built facility—is already operational, where it offers increased storage capacity of up to 3,500 pallets and the movement of 650 pallets per day. The successful relocation of its existing team will also be bolstered by a further 10 – 15% growth in its workforce; with roles in warehouse staffing, supervision and management roles soon to be available. In addition to their enhanced service capabilities, both sites will benefit from a series of sustainability-focused features, including all-electric forklift truck fleets, solar panels and green water filtering—additions that will see them meet the highest sustainability ‘BREEAM standards’. While the logistics provider already has existing hubs in the region, these have since reached capacity. This latest investment is a strategic move intended to give the company access to larger, purpose-built spaces, designed to better support its growing customer base. Commenting on the investment, Barry Byers, chief operating officer for Pall-Ex Group, said: “The South West has always been a challenging location for distribution companies. Yet in the past five years, we’ve generated unprecedented growth here, with more and more businesses around the region demanding a reliable and robust logistics network. With that growth, though, comes the need to evolve. That’s why the time feels right to make this significant investment to ensure that our distribution services are up to the challenge. “The last 30 years have been all about adapting and future-proofing the business; whether through supporting our partners around the country, investing in the latest technology to provide them with unparalleled visibility, or by enhancing our regional distribution services. This announcement really is testament to the hard work put in to get us where we are now in the South West, so that we can make sure we’re perfectly positioned to tackle the regional challenges of the next three decades.” News of the investment follows a landmark start to the year for the brand, as it celebrated its 30th anniversary. Since its incorporation three decades ago, Pall-Ex has evolved into a national and international powerhouse, with this latest South West expansion representing the next chapter in its commitment to growth.

Vistry has secured planning approval for the first phase of its major £600m residential development at Pudding Mill Lane, marking another significant step in the continued transformation of the area surrounding Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Newham Council has approved the opening phase of the Stratford scheme, which is being delivered in partnership between Vistry and the London Legacy Development Corporation. The first stage of the development will provide 355 homes as part of a wider mixed-use neighbourhood planned beside Pudding Mill Lane DLR station. Once complete, the full masterplan will deliver 948 mixed-tenure homes across four phases, with at least 45% designated as affordable housing. The approved first phase includes five residential buildings ranging from three to 17 storeys, positioned alongside the Olympic Park and designed to create a new riverside community within one of East London’s fastest-growing regeneration areas. Designed by architects Maccreanor Lavington and Gort Scott, the first phase will also feature a nursery, a proposed health centre, retail space and wider community facilities aimed at supporting long-term neighbourhood growth. Public realm and green infrastructure form a major part of the proposals. Plans include the creation of City Mills Riverside Park, a new riverfront pocket park and more than 1,200 sq m of play space integrated throughout the development. Sustainability is also central to the project’s design approach. The neighbourhood will operate as a fossil fuel-free scheme, incorporating on-site air source heat pumps, climate-resilient landscaping, sustainable drainage systems and wider environmental improvements. Rob Wilkinson, managing director at Vistry South London, said construction on the first phase is expected to begin this autumn, with the wider development scheduled for completion by 2033. The project adds further momentum to the ongoing regeneration of East London following the legacy transformation of the former Olympic site into one of the capital’s most significant mixed-use residential and commercial districts. A reserved matters planning application for the second phase of the development is expected to be submitted during summer 2026.

Construction specialist Glencar has officially confirmed its role as main contractor on the highly anticipated £50m Minecraft World development at Chessington World of Adventures. The major new attraction, being delivered for Merlin Entertainments, will bring the globally recognised Minecraft gaming franchise to life in what is expected to become one of the UK’s most ambitious immersive theme park experiences. The attraction is scheduled to open to visitors in 2027. Initial works on site began last month, with the first sections of structural steel for the main roller coaster now arriving as construction activity accelerates. Designed as a fully immersive destination, Minecraft World will combine themed buildings, large-scale ride infrastructure and interactive experiences inspired by the hugely successful video game. The development forms part of Merlin Entertainments’ wider investment strategy aimed at expanding experiential entertainment attractions across the UK and internationally. Glencar said the project presents a technically demanding build programme, requiring significant foundations to support both the ride structures and themed environments, alongside carefully coordinated construction works within an operational live theme park setting. The contractor described the scheme as the type of complex, highly coordinated development that aligns closely with its expertise across specialist construction projects. The arrival of the structural steelwork marks a major milestone for the development as the attraction begins to emerge above ground level. The project also reflects the growing demand for experience-led destinations within the UK leisure and visitor economy, with operators increasingly investing in branded entertainment concepts designed to attract families and younger audiences. Chessington World of Adventures continues to evolve its offer through major investment in rides, themed accommodation and immersive attractions, helping strengthen its position within the highly competitive UK theme park sector. For Glencar, the appointment adds another high-profile project to its growing portfolio of technically complex schemes spanning logistics, industrial, commercial and specialist leisure developments across the UK.

McPhillips has completed work on Talbot Park, a major £4.3m public realm and green space project designed to strengthen connectivity and support the wider regeneration of Kidderminster town centre. The scheme creates a new landscaped route linking Worcester Street with Bromsgrove Street and forms part of Wyre Forest District Council’s wider town centre transformation programme funded through the Government’s Future High Streets Fund. Shropshire-based contractor McPhillips delivered the project under an NEC4 Option A contract valued at £4.23m, with works commencing in September 2024. The redevelopment has transformed a previously inaccessible stepped area into a modern, inclusive public space designed to improve movement through the town centre while creating a more attractive environment for residents, visitors and local businesses. Talbot Park now includes extensive landscaping, upgraded paving, new seating and public realm improvements, alongside enhanced LED lighting aimed at improving safety and usability throughout the site. A dedicated children’s play area has also been incorporated as part of the redevelopment, helping create a more family-friendly destination within the town centre. Accessibility was a major focus of the project, with improved disabled access introduced across the scheme to provide better connectivity through the challenging topography of the site. According to McPhillips, the project presented a number of significant technical and logistical challenges throughout construction due to the constrained urban environment and complex ground conditions. Contracts manager Dan Redmond said the team had to carefully manage a range of site-specific issues, including buried structures and complex blocks left from previous demolition works. The steep gradient of the site also created difficulties around drainage and surface water management, requiring detailed planning and engineering coordination throughout the build process. Construction activity was further complicated by the busy town centre location and the need to work alongside the development of a new National Grid substation nearby. Despite these challenges, McPhillips successfully completed the scheme on programme and within budget. The completion of Talbot Park marks another important milestone in Kidderminster’s wider regeneration ambitions, with investment focused on improving connectivity, public spaces and the overall experience of the town centre as local authorities continue to reshape urban environments to support future economic growth and community wellbeing.

Three established occupiers at Exchange Quay have reaffirmed their commitment to the flagship Manchester office campus with a series of lease renewals totalling almost 27,000 sq ft. Insurance specialists First Central have agreed a new 10-year lease on their 21,600 sq ft office space, underlining their long-term confidence in the campus location. They are joined by RW Invest, which has signed a two-year renewal for its 1,364 sq ft office, and identity security experts Proof ID, which has also committed to a two-year lease extension on its 4,029 sq ft workspace. The trio of renewals highlights the continued appeal of Exchange Quay’s established office community and amenity-rich campus environment. Located at the gateway to Salford Quays and close to MediaCityUK, Exchange Quay comprises 435,000 sq ft of Grade A office space across seven buildings and benefits from its own dedicated stop on the Manchester Metrolink network. The campus has undergone significant investment in recent years, with upgraded workspaces, enhanced landscaping and a growing amenity offering designed to support occupier wellbeing and collaboration. Les Lang, Director, asset manager at Till AM commented: “It’s extremely rewarding to see occupiers choosing to stay and grow with us at Exchange Quay. Retaining high-quality businesses like First Central, RW Invest and Proof ID reflects the strength of the campus community and the continued investment we are making to deliver an outstanding workplace experience. “From a wide range of workspace solutions and upgraded offices to our on-site amenities and connectivity, we focus on creating an environment where businesses and their people can thrive.” Exchange Quay is one of the largest office campuses in the North West and is home to thousands of workers across a diverse range of sectors. The campus continues to attract strong occupier interest thanks to its combination of high-quality office space, a range of leasing options and proximity to Manchester city centre.

Prime Phenix has acquired a major development site at 96-102 The Broadway, West Ealing, in a transaction brokered by GLPG’s Agency team, with GLPG’s Capital Advisory team also securing the development facility for the purchaser to deliver the scheme. The site was sold by Luxgrove Capital Partners. The prominent Uxbridge Road site benefits from detailed planning consent for a £90 million GDV co-living scheme comprising 268 bedrooms (Use Class: C1 Apart-Hotel), alongside substantial amenity space and facilities, including a roof terrace. The 0.5-acre site, bounded by Singapore Road and The Broadway, has remained vacant since the demolition of the four-storey Woolworths department store in 2019. The original building was constructed in 1926 and traded until Woolworths’ nationwide closure in 2008. Construction is expected to commence imminently, according to Dr Amir Naghsh, CEO of Prime Phenix, which is behind developments including Stirling Works on Bollo Lane, Acton and Oak Place in Slough. Dr Amir Naghsh, commented: “West Ealing is exactly the type of opportunity we look to acquire at Prime Phenix – a prominent and well-connected site in a highly active London location with the scale and profile to deliver a standout scheme. Our integrated team enables us to take a scheme like this from acquisition through to completion with confidence, and construction is set to commence imminently. The development represents a significant regeneration opportunity for this part of The Broadway and will deliver a high-quality project that we believe will make a lasting positive impact on the area. “GLPG played an important role throughout the process, both in sourcing the opportunity and arranging the development funding with Zorin Finance and we are pleased to have Zorin alongside us for the delivery of the scheme.” GLPG, a leading multidisciplinary real estate group based in Marylebone, played a key role in both the disposal of the site and the financing of the project. Dean Leslie, Director at GLPG, said: “Large scale consented co-living opportunities of this quality rarely come to market in London, so from the outset we knew this was a transaction that would require a huge amount of work behind the scenes to get over the line. “There were a lot of moving parts across both the sale and financing, and credit should go to everyone involved for staying commercial and solution focused throughout the process. “What made this scheme particularly compelling was the combination of planning consent, scale and location. West Ealing has been transformed in recent years by the Elizabeth line and wider regeneration, and we continue to see strong demand from both investors and lenders for high quality living sector opportunities in well-connected London locations.” West Ealing is currently undergoing significant regeneration, with several major residential and mixed-use developments approved along The Broadway and the surrounding area. William McKenna, Director at Luxgrove Capital Partners, adds: “This sale marks a major step forward in the continued regeneration of West Ealing. The development will transform a long vacant site into a vibrant new co-living destination, helping to attract new residents, businesses and investment into the area.” The site occupies a prominent position within a five-minute walk of West Ealing’s restaurants, shops, supermarkets and gyms, as well as West Ealing station and the Elizabeth line. GLPG’s Capital Advisory team, led by Nick Swerner, acted as debt advisers on the project. Zorin Finance is providing funding for the development. Nick Swerner, Director at GLPG Capital Advisory, said: “Getting a transaction like this funded takes far more than simply introducing a lender. It requires detailed involvement throughout the process, understanding how to navigate issues as they arise and keeping momentum between all parties from start to finish. “Prime Phenix and Zorin Finance were excellent to work with throughout and together we were able to deliver a facility for what we believe will become one of the standout co-living schemes in West London.” Anthony Raud, Head of Development Finance Origination at Zorin Finance, comments: “We are thrilled to be supporting Prime Phenix on what will be a landmark scheme. The Prime Phenix team brings strong delivery capabilities, while the amenities, location and connectivity will be highly attractive to residents. “The Zorin Finance team remains committed to providing flexible funding solutions to address the ongoing undersupply of living sector stock across the UK.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
Offsite manufacturer, Premier Modular, has been announced as a supplier to public sector-owned professional buying organisation, ESPO, to support on seven lots on their new Modular Buildings framework (953). Suppliers will design, manufacture, deliver, install and provide maintenance for modular buildings, with the national framework helping to provide much-needed high-quality, future proofed temporary and permanent infrastructure for the public sector. Premier Modular, celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, is known for its ability to deliver modular schemes through different procurement options and has been awarded to seven out of ten lots of the framework.

Top 10 UK housebuilder, Keepmoat, is set to break ground on the second phase of its Springhill Farm development and create 295 new homes in Shotts, North Lanarkshire. Representing a £51 million investment into the local area, the additional homes follow the success of phase one at the site, which delivered 104 new homes. Due to be completed in 2032, the second phase will deliver a variety of two, three and four bed family homes, terraces, semi-detached and detached products – creating much needed homes for local people. Ron and Maria bought their home at phase one of the Springhill Farm scheme in 2023 after moving from a rented flat in Glasgow. Ron explains: “From our very first visit to Bertramfarm, we fell in love with the area. “Being surrounded by the countryside and enjoying the fresh air has made such a difference to our day-to-day lives. It took us a couple of attempts to find the right home, but it was absolutely worth it. “We love everything about our house – the sense of space, the layout, and how bright and welcoming it feels. Our neighbours are friendly and peaceful, which makes it even more special. We’re excited about the next phase and look forward to welcoming new neighbours to the community.” Tim Metcalfe, Regional Managing Director at Keepmoat, Scotland, added: “We’re excited to launch the next phase of this much needed Shotts development, as the area has had little investment into new housing stock. “At Keepmoat, we are proud to deliver top quality, open market homes designed for the future. The development is well connected with easy access to the Shotts train station, which offers direct access to Glasgow and Edinburgh.” Keepmoat is a top 10 UK partnership homebuilder with a track-record of delivering quality new homes across the UK. To date, almost 60 percent of its current developments are on brownfield sites.

A SIGNIFICANT refurbishment to a c.190,000 sq ft industrial unit in Northampton has been completed by leading fit out and refurbishment contractor Pexhurst, transforming the building into a more sustainable, efficient and community-connected industrial space through an ambitious reuse-first delivery model. The multi-million-pound project for Aviva involved upgrading the warehouse and office spaces through new M&E installations, polished concrete flooring, new finishes and repairs to existing access doors, alongside the installation of five new 22kW dual-head electric vehicle chargers. A large-scale rooftop solar PV system was also installed, comprising 678 panels and delivering a total capacity of 400kWp. The system is expected to generate around 312,000 kWh of electricity annually, saving approximately 60 tCO2e per year. As part of the works, the existing gas utility was fully removed, with the building now operating on all-electric systems supported by on-site renewable generation. These improvements support the building’s strong environmental performance and have enabled the property to achieve an EPC A rating. Central to the refurbishment was a strategy focused on retaining and reusing materials wherever possible. Pexhurst worked closely with circular economy consultancy Reusefully to embed reuse principles from an early stage, helping to identify opportunities to retain materials on site, redirect surplus items into reuse systems and maximise environmental and social values throughout the programme. Pexhurst established a dedicated reuse area on site to safeguard items inherited from earlier works, allowing a significant proportion of sanitaryware, ceiling tiles, carpet tiles and timber skirting boards to be reinstated within the building, including the reuse of existing carpet and ceiling tiles within the staircases. In total, 158 m² of carpet tiles and 62 m² of ceiling tiles were retained in situ, while a further 550 m² of carpet tiles were collected by Urban Miners for reuse within the industry, ensuring materials remained in circulation rather than being discarded. Combined with the reuse of existing materials, the approach delivered a significant saving when compared with installing new products. Charlie Hazeltine, contracts manager at Pexhurst, said: “This project shows what can be achieved when sustainability sits at the centre of a refurbishment programme. With the right team and supply chain partners, materials that are often considered disposable can be reused, repaired or rehomed to extend their lifecycle. It demonstrates how early design-stage planning and careful coordination can achieve meaningful environmental and financial benefits while maintaining the quality of the finished space for clients and future occupiers.” Alongside this reuse activity, the team procured more than 600 litres of sustainably sourced HVO to power site plant, delivering an estimated carbon saving of 1.6 tCO₂e compared with traditional diesel. This saving is equivalent to the emissions from around 4,000 miles driven by an average petrol vehicle. Vinyl offcuts were collected for closed-loop recycling, allowing them to be remanufactured into new flooring rather than downcycled, while redundant lighting equipment was sent to Recolight for specialist recycling. 262 pallets in total were returned through the Pallet Loop scheme to be repaired and reintroduced into commercial circulation, avoiding an estimated 54 cubic metres of waste – equivalent to six 12-yard skips. A key sustainability gain came from a major change in ceiling tile specification, replacing the original product – which offered no viable end-of-life route – with a Rockfon tile supported by a full closed-loop recycling system. In addition, all major new refurbishment materials were supported by the creation of material passports. The collated datasheets, responsible sourcing documentation, EPDs and end-of-life pathways were incorporated into the operation and maintenance manual to equip future occupiers with the information needed to make circular, low-waste decisions throughout the building’s lifecycle. To support occupier wellbeing and encourage social interaction, the project also delivered a new external amenity space, featuring outdoor seating, table tennis tables and extensive new landscaping and planting. This enhanced outdoor environment provides future tenants with dedicated space for breaks, informal meeting and recreation. Alongside the construction programme, Pexhurst delivered a range of community initiatives that strengthened local connections and enhanced the project’s social value legacy. The team partnered with Pineham Barns Primary School to run a ‘draw your favourite building’ competition involving 30 pupils. Three winners received Amazon vouchers and all of the 30 entries were collaged and displayed on the Heras fence covers around the site for the children to see. Pexhurst also strengthened its links with local education by providing work experience opportunities to two students. Additional activity included food bank donations and a volunteering day at Restore Northampton, where members of the Pexhurst team, together with project partners from Leslie Clark and Spring Building Consultancy, supported donation sorting and parcel packing. A community litter pick, delivered in collaboration with circular economy consultancy Reusefully, further contributed to improving the surrounding area, while surplus materials such as paint have been directed into additional reuse schemes, including Dulux’s Community RePaint initiative, ensuring they continue to benefit local groups. Similarly, several leftover basins were donated to Phoenix Resource Centre for use in community projects in Kenya. Hazeltine added: “Our work on this project shows how a refurbishment can combine environmental performance with genuine community impact. By maximising material reuse and collaborating with local organisations, we’ve helped ensure the project delivers benefits that reach far beyond the building itself and its future users.” To learn more about Pexhurst, visit www.pexhurst.co.uk Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
