Caddick Construction has handed over St Modwen Logistics’ latest sustainable warehouse, which extends to more than 100,000 sq ft and is located in Lincoln.

Totalling 111,000 sq ft, Lincoln 111 is the fourth phase at St Modwen Park in Lincoln, a development that already has transportation links to sea and airports, as well as the A1(M) approximately seven miles away.
