The industrial sector in Southampton is set to benefit from the construction of a new distribution centre by the companies ABP and Import Services, which is actually a subsidiary of the company Xpediator, doubling the operational capacity of the current distribution hub.Going into more detail, the new distribution centre will be built by Midas Construction as part of a £23M contract and will cover an area of 200,000sq ft, employing a further 35 people and being built to a BREEAM standard of ‘Excellent’. This means that the facility will feature £2.5M worth of solar panels, doubling the amount of solar energy generated at Southampton port, and is expected to be completed by Spring 2021.
