Caddick Completes New Wolverhampton Logistics Hub

Caddick Construction has reached completion of a new 100,000 sq. ft distribution warehouse at Vernon Park in Wolverhampton, becoming the second in a growing pipeline of projects to complete since Caddick launched in the Midlands in 2023.

Marking the first industrial and logistics development delivered by Caddick’s Midlands business, Vernon Park is a two-storey high speculative warehouse, built on behalf of Staffordshire Pension Fund to accommodate manufacturing, storage and distribution.

The scope of work included the installation of loading doors, dock leveller equipment, fire escape staircases, lifts and ancillary spaces. Additional features include heating, comfort cooling, domestic hot and cold-water services, electrical installations, fire alarms and lighting. 

For over 45 years, Caddick’s wider presence in the industrial and logistics sector has seen the business deliver a range of developments across the North West and Yorkshire. In the last 12 months this has included over 764,265 sq ft of industrial and logistics space.

Ray O’Sullivan, Regional Managing Director of Caddick Construction Midlands, comments: “The completion and handover of Vernon Park marks a significant milestone for the Caddick Midlands business as we celebrate our first industrial and logistics  scheme completed in our newly established region. Elsewhere in the Midlands, we have also handed over Urban Splash and Places for People’s landmark island community in Birmingham, Port Loop. As we celebrate completion of these projects, we are pleased to be looking ahead with a healthy and varied pipeline of exciting investment projects within the Greater Birmingham area.”

Andrew Ogilvie, Director at Virtus Consult, said: “As Project Managers, Employer’s Agent and Quantity Surveyors for Staffordshire County Council Pension Fund, we’re delighted to see Vernon Park reach completion. The project faced challenges along the way, with the original contractor entering liquidation. Through the procurement process we led, Caddick Construction was appointed to complete the scheme, not only delivering to the highest quality, but also taking on responsibility for the earlier works to give our client full assurance. With the development on track to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating, the Fund now holds a resilient, sustainable logistics asset that will support occupiers and contribute to the economic growth of Wolverhampton and the wider region.”

The design and consultant team at Vernon Park includes UMC Architects, Virtus Consult as project managers and quantity surveyors, Rodgers Leask as structural and civil engineering and M&E engineers, Couch Perry Wilkes.
