Magnavale invests £130 million in cold store facility

MAGNAVALE INTENDS for the energy efficient facility, which will be run entirely on renewables, to serve as the first automated development of its extensive pipeline of new facilities across strategic locations in the UK and Europe. 

Since breaking ground in September 2022, the company has achieved significant milestones.

McClaren has completed the main concrete slab, and low bay cladding and steelwork for the staircase and office are now complete. Construction has also begun on the high bay automation, and the high bay cladding, which including the cranes, are currently being erected within the store’s steelwork lattice. The electrical infrastructure and fire suppression system are also making steady progress.

The refrigeration and oxygen reduction plantrooms, essential elements of the cold store, are under construction and nearing completion. Magnavale are pleased with the progress made so far and remains confident that they will complete construction in Q4 2024.

Magnavale was renamed from Rick Bestwick in 2021.
