Prologis UK, a leading logistics property owner, investor and developer, has welcomed Flexispot Limited, a kinetic furniture manufacturer, to Prologis Park Wellingborough West. The move to DC2 forms part of the business’ expansion plans and move from its former base in nearby Northampton.
Flexispot, owned by global 3PL business Lecangs LLC, is leading the kinetic furniture movement, putting ergonomics and eco-consciousness at the heart of its operations. Flexispot’s offering encompasses a range of office furniture such as adjustable desks, chairs and storage solutions made from fully-recyclable materials with a focus on advanced engineering and technology.
Strategically located only half a mile from the A509, with fast access to the A45, A14 and M1 in the East Midlands, Prologis Park Wellingborough West is a perfectly situated logistics hub.
Soon to be Flexispot’s new home, DC2 spans 130,726 sq. ft. of fully-fitted and racked warehouse space. The unit was built with the environment in mind, achieving an EPC A rating, energy efficient LED lighting and is Net Zero in operation, in line with the UKGBC framework.
Flexispot’s arrival to the Park community will boost the local economy, providing a number of new job opportunities for the surrounding area.
Tom Price, Leasing Director for Prologis UK, said: “Working with Flexispot has been incredibly rewarding and it’s excellent that the business has chosen Prologis Park Wellingborough West for its expansion. The team’s top priority was a facility with racking already in place and DC2 fits the bill perfectly. We’re all looking forward to welcoming the business to the Park’s thriving community.”
The newly signed agreement builds on the global partnership between Lecangs LLC and Prologis, covering circa two million sq. ft. of logistics space internationally.
Richard Tang, Business Operational Director at Flexispot Limited, commented: “Choosing DC2 at Prologis Park Wellingborough West was the natural choice for us. Our parent company already has a longstanding relationship with Prologis, so we knew that we would be in good hands right from the outset. Finding a unit with racking already in place was a ‘must-have’ for us too and we’re confident we’ve found the perfect base from which to grow our business further.”
