A growing construction company has been awarded the contract to build new three units at a mega logistics and industrial scheme in Coventry.
Warwickshire-based Bericote has chosen Glencar, whose Midlands office is in Birmingham, to build 780,000 sq ft of industrial space on a 43-acre site which is to be known as Coventry Logistics Park.
Work has already started on site with demolition of the existing building together with enabling works, and is expected to be complete by the summer of next year.
The new units will be 484,000 sq ft, 251,000 sq ft and 47,000 sq ft in size.

Pete Goodman, Glencar's managing director for the Midlands and North, said: "Coventry Logistics Park looks set to become one of the West Midlands newest and highest profile logistics/industrial developments and we are absolutely delighted to have been instructed by Bericote and their joint venture partner JP Morgan on the project.
"We are gearing up to get started shortly with the demolition and redevelopment of the former Toys R Us site that sits on the site currently to then follow with construction of this brand new three-unit mega scheme.
"Glencar has made its name in the construction of high-quality logistics/industrial units and we are looking forward to delivering another example of that for Bericote and JP Morgan across the full project team."
