Packaging manufacturer Allpack is set to move into its new purpose-built headquarters in August.
The NDC, which was developed by investor-developer Barberry, was pre-sold to Allpack in a multi-million-pound deal last year. Practical completion of the site, headed up by construction contractor Benniman, was delivered last month.
Located at Kingswood Lakeside Business Park in Cannock, Staffordshire, one of the region’s key employment sites, the new national HQ will serve to facilitate Allpack’s continued growth, bringing a wealth of investment and recruitment opportunities to the area.
The company’s new Cannock base is ideally located, offering quick access to the M6 Toll, the M6, M42, A5 and the A34.
Barberry development director Jon Robinson said: “We purchased this site to deliver a headquarters building on Kingswood Lakeside Business Park. We are proud to confirm we have completed construction of the Allpack HQ on schedule and budget and are delighted to hand the keys to our customer.
“The successful conclusion of this project clearly demonstrates the quality of our mid-box industrial/logistics buildings, the high specification we deliver, our experience and our flexible approach to catering for occupier requirements, and our ability to offer both leasehold and freehold opportunities.”
Jon added: “We have worked hard and invested heavily to create a Barberry brand in the mid-box industrial/logistics market, providing high quality buildings that we are proud of, being built to a market leading specification acknowledging the key requirements of the mid-box industrial and logistics market and indeed exceeding them in many areas.”
Louise Brooke-Smith, non-executive board director for Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership said: “Kingswood Lakeside Business Park is an example of how we work with the public and private sectors to target investments into projects that drive forwards inclusive economic growth.
“We invested £2 million through our Local Growth Fund to unlock this site for developers and the benefits are clear to see. With a nationally significant business like Allpack choosing this site as their new headquarters, jobs will be created for local people now and in the future. This is critical as we recover from Covid-19 and shows how our initial investment has long-term benefits for people who live and work in the GBSLEP region.”
Bob Clarke, operations director at Allpack Group, commented: “2021 has seen the ecommerce sector continue to grow so we are delighted to get the keys to the new HQ, which will allow us to continue supporting our clients nationally with the exceptional service levels that have become synonymous with the Allpack brand.
“It has been a pleasure working alongside Barberry and we are delighted with the quality of the building.”
