New Medical Distribution Centre For Wakefield

A new medical distribution hub has been completed at Wakefield Hub in West Yorkshire for the PHOENIX Group. Insider Media reports that the 260,000 sq site will act as storage and distribution centre to supply the NHS and pharmacies across the UK. 

The new facility will create about 100 jobs in the region and is the latest addition to the successful 200-acre Wakefield Hub, which is located at J30 of the M62 and is fewer than 10 miles from Leeds and fewer than 50 miles from Manchester. 

Jackie Jones, director of supply chain at PHOENIX, said: "This is a first for PHOENIX, we have never developed a purpose-built distribution site, it's an incredibly exciting time. 

“Over the last few years PHOENIX have seen double digit growth and our new Wakefield site gives an enormous opportunity for growth as well as driving job opportunities for Wakefield and the locality."

Tom Wheldon, director and head of region at HBD, said: "We're pleased to be able to welcome PHOENIX Group to Wakefield Hub - its new purpose-built base coupled with unrivalled access to the motorway network will no doubt prove a successful new location as it targets further growth."

Scott Mackie, director at York court, added: "PHEONIX is an excellent addition to Wakefield Hub and their choice to open here, along with the successful forward funding agreement with clients of Abrdn, is not only a vote of confidence in the scheme but in the region as a place to invest. It's very positive news for the city."

The distribution centre will benefit from solar panels and electric vehicle charging bays. The surrounding area has been landscaped to create a pond, and improvements have been made to infrastructure.
