THE new year will see the latest major tenant at DP World's London Gateway Logistics Park at Corringham move in. Transport and logistics provider PAV Haulage will move into a state-of-the-art 94,000 sq ft facility – LG94 – on a 20-year lease.

The lease includes plans for a new expansion onto an adjacent development plot.

When the expansion is complete, the facility will be able to accommodate extensive HGV parking, helping to support PAV Haulage's commercial expansion as they take up tenancy of their flagship unit in London Gateway.

CEO at the logistics park, Alan Holland, said: "Welcoming PAV Haulage to the Logistics Park reflects the ongoing confidence that new customers are placing in London Gateway. 

"Thanks to our strategic location on the doorstep of the capital, tri-modal connectivity and expedited planning framework under the LDO, we are well positioned to support PAV Haulage's next chapter.

"With over half the Logistics Park now developed and occupied, we are excited to continue building a logistics ecosystem at London Gateway that drives growth for our customers, creates new jobs, and future-proofs supply chains across the UK." 

Dean Mills, CEO of PAV Haulage, said: "With this warehouse, we're at the heart of smart logistics – and we're only just getting started. London Gateway is the perfect base for the scale and ambition we're bringing to the industry."

The Logistics Park has undergone significant expansion in recent years, with half of its site now developed. 

The park is backed by a 10-year local development order which fast-tracks new building applications to ensure the continued expansion of the logistics hub.
