Dachser Ltd in the UK is to build a new 5,175 square metre
logistics centre in Rochdale to replace its existing distribution
facility. The development of the 3.7 hectare (9.2 acre) site
represents EUR 16million (GBP 14.4million) investment by the
company.
Since the acquisition of J. A. Leach Transport Limited in 2010,
including the current site of Dachser operations in the North of
England, business has grown fivefold, necessitating the warehouse
expansion.
“Our significant investment is evidence of Dachser’s commitment
to the UK market and our optimistic view on the future of both
import and export trade with the rest of Europe,” commented Mark
Rollinson, Managing Director Dachser UK.
According to Rollinson, the new logistics centre is evidence of how
Dachser has grown in the UK in tandem with its customers. “With
the extended resource provided by this new facility we will satisfy
the demands of our customers’ global integrated supply chains
as well as a sustained increase in UK exports delivered through
Dachser’s extensive European distribution network,” stated
Rollinson.
Located on the Kingsway Business Park adjacent to the Trans-
Pennine motorway, the M62 at junction 21, the new facility will
have 49 dock loading doors and an additional four level access
doors. There will be an internal area of nearly 7,000 square metres,
including office space.
“The Rochdale Logistics Centre is connected to the global Dachser
network with daily direct freight services,” explains Gary Atkinson,
Branch Manager Dachser Rochdale. “With this new construction,
our location in the North of England is evolving into an important
hub within Dachser’s European network. Ensuring that the new
facility remained within Rochdale was an important consideration
in the interests of the company’s workforce; the location is also
optimally situated from a logistics viewpoint on an important
artery of the UK’s Northern Powerhouse,” he continued.
Dachser UK currently employs a total of 448 people, 106 of whom
are based in Rochdale where the company expects to create many
jobs over the next five years.
