Greg Wright, Glencar operations director said: "Repeat business is the best business, and we are very pleased to once again be working in partnership with our long standing and much valued customer Wrenbridge, and its partner, Bridges Fund Management, to deliver this fantastic new industrial development at Little Preston in Aylesford.

"We are also currently on site with Wrenbridge and Bridges Fund Management at Lily House, Basingstoke, and we have previously delivered a five-unit industrial scheme for Wrenbridge – The Bridge in Dartford, which once again demonstrates the strength of our partnership and supply chain," he added.

"We look forward to working with the team onsite including KAM, Chetwoods,and Sweco and delivering a great new facility for this important customer."

"We look forward to starting on site in the next few weeks and having these units available for local, regional and national businesses by the summer of 2024."

The expected practical completion (PC) date for the project is by the end of August, 2024
