PROJECT OVERVIEW

Construction is now complete on Greggs’ 311,551 sq ft National Distribution Centre at Tritax Big Box Development’s Symmetry Park Kettering.

This new distribution hub will significantly enhance Greggs’ operational capabilities by providing a streamlined system for distributing its goods which aligns with Greggs’ ongoing expansion plans and market growth objectives.

Hannan Associates provided Building Services Engineering consultancy for the development and have been supporting Tritax with their development plans for the business park since 2019.

Symmetry Park Kettering, the location of the new Greggs National Distribution Centre, offers a strategic advantage for logistics operations. Its proximity to major transport networks ensures seamless connectivity, facilitating efficient movement of goods across the UK. This location is particularly advantageous for Greggs, as it allows for optimal distribution routes and reduced transportation times, which are essential for maintaining product freshness and quality and reducing costs.

The facility has been constructed with a strong emphasis on sustainability to align with Greggs’ aspirations and has been designed to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ standard, with an EPC A rating, and to meet Net Zero Carbon in Construction requirements.

We worked alongside Stephen George Architects, Trinity Property Consultants, Framptons, EDP UK, Feasibility Ltd, WSP UK and Ridge on the project design team.

Tritax Big Box are leaders in the logistics real estate market,  securing and manage top-tier facilities for high-profile clients.

Both Greggs and Tritax Big Box are committed to integrating advanced technologies and sustainable practices, which are becoming increasingly important in the industry. The adoption of cutting-edge logistics systems at the new centre will likely lead to more streamlined operations, better inventory management, and enhanced route optimisation. These improvements will not only benefit Greggs but also serve as a model for other companies looking to enhance their supply chain efficiency.
