Unit 3, a 510,000 sq ft cross dock distribution, funded by Aviva Life 7 Pensions UK Ltd has now been let to Iceland Foods Ltd.

Unit 2, developed by Omega St Helens Limited and managed by Miller Developments with Barings as funder, is currently being marketed and comprises a single-storey office block and an extensive warehouse over 300,000 sq ft.

Community workshops were carried out during the build, with the involvement of local councils and charities.

In addition, McLaren Construction sponsored Martin Murray’s ThinkFAST academy to provide support and development for young people through the discipline of boxing.

Gary Cramp, managing director of McLaren Construction Midlands and North, said: "We’re pleased with the completion of the second and third units of this pivotal logistics scheme and our teams have worked hard to deliver a high-quality end product.

"Alongside the builds, we’ve worked with the local community to provide a range of social value-added opportunities, including supporting the fantastic work of Martin Murray’s ThinkFAST programme.”

David Milloy, a director of Omega St Helens and managing director of Miller Developments, added: This was the second project we appointed McLaren Construction to build.

"The quality was first class and Gary’s team were both helpful and accommodating throughout."

Both units achieved a BREEAM rating of 'Excellent,' fitting in with net zero targets, and include EV charging, 10% roof lights to warehouse and a score of 45/45 in the most recent considerate constructor’s audit.
