Caddick Completes New £11.8m DPD Distribution Centre in Carlisle

Caddick has built a new 60,000 sq. ft warehouse distribution centre at Kingmoor Park, becoming DPD’s latest distribution centre in Carlisle.

Construction work began on the £12.3m distribution and warehouse facility in late 2022, with the well-known delivery services firm having opened its doors to new staff in January 2024. 

Delivering the scheme on behalf of development partner, Kingmoor, Caddick’s work comprised the construction of a steel frame cladded warehouse unit with offices, staff car parking and a concrete service yard and trailer park.

As Caddick gears up to build phase two of the wider development scheme, the project marks the beginning of an extensive pipeline of logistics schemes being delivered by Caddick across the North West this year. Adding to the portfolio is Croft Retail Park on behalf of RedSun Projects, as well as the recently completed Ocean Street development where Caddick brought two high-specification units for Quorum Developments.

Last year Caddick also handed over the first phase of Farrington Park in Leyland. Working alongside development partner and sister company, Caddick Developments, Caddick Construction built a new 544,000 sq. ft logistics hub which has now welcomed anchor tenant, Victorian Plumbing.

Dave Saville, Regional Managing Director for Caddick Construction North West comments: “As we begin to deliver phase two of this fantastic scheme for our valued development partner, Kingmoor, it’s a great opportunity to reflect on the success of the first phase for DPD Carlisle and our growing pipeline of modern industrial facilities that are transforming the North West’s business network.

“Throughout the build programme we ensured our planning, operation and delivery were meticulous. We embedded a regional supply chain and the final result was the creation of a modern, commercial office space and distribution hub for our client.”
