Special investment in Liverpool
Jenkins, a national logistics provider specialising in paper, pulp and other forest products, is to invest in a GBP 17 million new custom-built warehouse at the port of Liverpool.
Jenkins, which has been a tenant at the port for ten years, has reached an agreement on managing services at Liverpool and London Medway, with the aim to significantly increase traffic at both ports. The commitment secures over 46,500 sqm of warehouse space, 27,871 sqm of which is a new investment in a bespoke state-of-the-art paper and pulp facility at the port of Liverpool.
The facility will provide a major increase in capacity at Liverpool, allowing Jenkins to raise its throughput. Construction on the warehouse is due to begin 2019 and be completed in 2020. (kd)
