Amazon flows into central England

摘要

Distribution centres don't come much larger than the colossal shed being built for online retailer Amazon, which is currently nearing completion at the Mountpark Bardon site near Coalville, Leicestershire. Known as unit one, and the first of three new centres to be built on the site, the structure measures 504m in length and has a width of 184m, offering just over one million square feet of floor space. Main contractor Winvic started on this greenfield site, which is separated from Mountpark's existing distribution park by a main road, back in 2015.
