Guy Elliott, Managing Director Contract Logistics at Wincanton, said: “The official opening will be a big moment for all the partners involved in this project and, make no mistake; this will be one of Europe’s leading logistical operations. I’m delighted that it’s going to be supporting the local and regional economy for many years to come.”
