Wisbech Food Cold Store
Partner Logistics Europe
Food Cold Storage and Distribution Specialist
Wisbech & Gloucester, UK
Drivers approaching the Fenland town of Wisbech on the A47 trunk road between Peterborough and Kings Lynn cannot fail to notice the gigantic construction that has appeared on the outskirts of the town. Standing 35m tall and occupying a plot the size of four football pitches - meet Britain’s largest deep freeze.
Developed, owned and operated by Partner Logistics Europe, the cold store can hold around 77,000 pallets at any one time. Not just a deep freeze, the facility is a highly efficient distribution centre which will enable the company to store the foods produced by Dutch potato manufacturer Lamb Weston Meijer at its nearby factory, and despatch them to customers across the country. Offering an efficient, economical and sustainable method of storing and distributing foods, the company is using surplus storage space to provide services to two other ‘non-competing’ frozen food manufacturers in the area.
