Global logistics specialist LV Shipping has expanded its North East base at Infinity Park, part of Monkton Business Park, Hebburn, after securing additional space to support its continued growth.
Infinity Park, within Monkton Business Park, is owned and managed by Hellens Group. LV Shipping already occupies Unit 18 (15,000 sq ft), and has now taken on the neighbouring Unit 19 (10,000 sq ft). This brings its total footprint on the business park to 25,000 sq ft, underlining its long-term commitment to the region.
Founded more than a century ago, LV Shipping operates worldwide with offices in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas. Its UK headquarters are in Middlesbrough, from where it manages a wide range of freight forwarding, warehousing and logistics services. The expansion at Monkton strengthens the company’s presence in the North East and provides capacity to handle new contracts, expand storage, and increase efficiency for its customers.
Lee Woolams, Managing Director of LV Shipping, said: “Once we learned about the opportunity at Monkton Business Park, we moved quickly. The Newcastle team love their current base and the timing worked well as they continue to grow. The strong relationships between both parties have helped deliver a smooth and efficient transition.”
Gavin Cordwell-Smith, Chief Executive of Hellens Group, said: “It is fantastic to see LV Shipping increase their presence at Infinity Park. Our development was designed to provide modern, flexible space for ambitious companies, and LV Shipping’s expansion demonstrates the strength of demand for quality industrial accommodation in this part of the North East. We are proud to support their growth.”
Strategically located close to the A19 and Tyne Tunnel, the park provides road connectivity to Teesside, Tyneside and the wider national motorway network. It is home to a range of occupiers including Siemens, Ford Component Manufacturing and Kier, reflecting its status as one of South Tyneside’s key business locations.
The expansion comes amid continued demand for modern logistics and industrial space in the North East, fuelled by the region’s role as a hub for advanced manufacturing, offshore energy and international trade. Infinity Park has played an important role in supporting this growth, with Hellens Group investing in new development and infrastructure to meet occupier demand.
