Winvic picked for Leicester shed

The new distribution centre is being built on a 5.3-acre ploy on the Optimus Point industrial park in Glenfield, next to Junction 21a of the M1 motorway.

Winvic is building a 61,640 sqft unit, including ancillary two-storey offices and core facilities. Other requirements of the site include associated external parking, a service yard and landscaped areas. Construction is expected to take 36-weeks, with anticipated completion date of 1st May 2020.

Sarstedt is currently based in Beaumont Leys but needs a bigger site to expand.
