Campeys of Selby Commercial & Operations Director Harry Campey, said: “Konect62 is the ideal location for us to take our next step into increasing our storage and distribution service offerings for existing and new customers. The quality of the build alongside the location near the M62 and A1 meant K61 was the perfect addition to our operational portfolio.

“Having secured a large long term food storage and distribution contract prior to receiving the keys, it was imperative that the site was fit and ready for BRCGS Food Safety Global Standard, as well as various ISO accreditations. In addition, the site’s market-leading ESG credentials are in line with what we require as a forward-thinking logistics company with safety and sustainability at the forefront of our priorities and commitment to customers.”
