PPE provider Beeswift has agreed to take 120,000 sq ft of logistics space at Hub 120 in Birmingham.
Beeswift will take the space at junction 6 of the M6 for a new corporate headquarters and national distribution centre for its range of safety and medical products and workwear.
The manufacturer has signed a 16-year lease with owner CBRE Global Investors. The agreement follows nine months of work to provide a custom extension to the building, and Beeswift will relocate operations over the next seven months.
The Dutch company provides equipment to government, commercial and institutional sectors. It works closely with NHS and local authorities as a designated key supplier during the coronavirus.
Rob Trevor, senior director for UK industrial and logistics at CBRE GI, said: “Beeswift is operating as a key supply chain to the NHS, and this will allow it to expand and increase capacity at this time of national need.”
Les Giles, chief executive at Beeswift, added: “This is part of a jigsaw that is falling into place as the company, supported heavily by its shareholders, expands and develops into key strategic markets and regions.”
