Luxury fashion logistics provider the Snatt Omlog Companies has signed for 126,000 sq ft at Goodman’s London Brentwood Commercial Park, in Essex, for its first UK facility.
The Italy-headquartered operations specialist has taken space at the commercial park, in East Horndon, as part of its global expansion. It focuses exclusively on logistics, technology and operational project management for the fashion and luxury industries.
Its services also include operational support for store openings and renovations, pop-ups and visual merchandising.
The logistics company’s dealings with Goodman date back to 2007. It leases more than 1m sq ft at Goodman Western Plaza in Hong Kong and Goodman Industrial Center Murray Hill in New York.
The UK facility will include a three-storey mezzanine to maximise internal storage capacity. It has a BREEAM Excellent standard and achieves an A+ energy performance rating.
Austin Whyte, general manager at Snatt Omlog UK, said: “When we looked to expand into this core market, we wanted to collaborate with an organisation we could trust. We’re pleased to be building on our longstanding relationship with Goodman by opening our first UK facility with them.
“The property’s strategic location, combined with its sustainability credentials, was important to us as a business but also to the brands we work with. It will enable us to service customers quickly, reduce delivery miles and, in doing so, support our customers in decarbonising their supply chains.”
George Glennie, development director at Goodman, said: “Delivering high-quality, sustainable properties that can utilise technology and innovation to increase operational efficiency is key for our customers. We’re excited to be working with the Snatt Omlog Companies in the UK and supporting their continued growth in the luxury retail market.”
