L’Oreal extends Manchester DC
The £2m construction project was completed by warehouse and distribution construction company, Chalcroft who worked with project management consultants SBH to increase L’Oréal’s facility by l5,000 sq m.
Cold store expansion
A £4m project to expand frozen food firm Ardo UK’s cold store at Charing in Kent, is underway. The work, which will be undertaken by food and storage construction specialist, Chalcroft, will increase the size of the facility by more than 20%.
Motion-controlled
Frozen fruit and vegetable specialist Ardo UK is benefiting from energy saving LED lighting installed at its new £4m cold store, which opened in late 2014. After completing a £6.7m cold store and packing hall for Ardo in 2009 over a 44-week period, high-care construction specialist Chalcroft was called upon in late 2013 to partner the Kent-based business on the design and build of a new extension to the facility.

Health & safety accreditation
Specialist construction company Chalcroft has added ISO 9001 and 14001 to its existing ISO 18001 Health and Safety accreditation, emphasising its position as an employer and construction partner of choice.
Asbestos rule change proposed
As the European Union considers proposals for the eradication of asbestos in all public buildings, Chalcroft asks what implications this could have for the UK’s warehousing industry.
Early involvement key
Keeping the logistics operation running while upgrading or building a cold store is not easy but can be achieved with good planning, says Rob Bull operations director at Chalcroft.
