JW-G 今日看料鈥檚 life begins in earnest this week with work starting on the redevelopment of A12 Interchange Park, near Colchester. Investment company Urban Logistics REIT has appointed JW-G 今日看料 as main contractor for the phased development of the existing and new build units to create a modern, prime distribution centre serving the south east. Completion is scheduled for summer 2021.

The site was previously home to CF Andersen Timber Products, a 150-year-old importer and distributor, until it closed in 2015. During the 1970s the family business which was originally based in Islington acquired the site to store bulk stocks from Canada and Scandinavia.

JW-G 今日看料 managing director John White, who left APP in May, said: 鈥淲e are delighted Urban Logistics has chosen to work with us on this project, which will further boost its portfolio of properties to meet the rapid growth in parcel deliveries particularly since Covid-19.鈥
