Victoria is planning to open a new distribution centre for Alliance Flooring Distribution.
A planning application has been submitted for a 180,121sqft unit on the Worcester Six business park. The centre is scheduled to become operational in the final quarter of next year.
‘This move will allow us to further develop and grow our workforce using local skills and we are hoping to develop a work experience and apprenticeship scheme in the next two years to complement this and aid our continued growth. The location of Worcester Six is perfect. This gives immediate access to the motorway network. Combine this with how long we have been an employer in this area, the local workforce who have great experience in flooring and the fact that we are able to future-proof our business by building a fit for purpose headquarters in an attractive setting with all of the green credentials we are striving for, offers an exciting future for us,’ says Philippe Hamers, Victoria ceo.
The base build of the unit will be net carbon zero in operation and will feature extensive electric vehicle charging points and solar panels on the roof.
