The Wolf Pack development of three warehouses is said to have created significant job opportunities while addressing the shortage of new industrial accommodation in the West Midlands.

Barberry Industrial acquired the site from South Staffordshire Council for an undisclosed sum.

The grade A building that Metelec will be relocating to — which is rated EPC A and BREEAM excellent — has reached practical completion by contractor Benniman Construction, and includes 64 parking spaces and four dock-level and two level-access loading doors.

Metelec, the UK logistics branch of European copper extruded bar manufacturer Gindre Duchavany, will be moving from its current base in Bloxwich, West Midlands.

Jon Robinson, development director at Barberry Industrial, commented on the Wolfpack development: “Our new buildings are built with sustainability credentials in mind that will benefit the occupiers using them by reducing occupational costs and fulfilling many ESG ratings in measuring the sustainability and social impact of our buildings.”

Metelec managing director, Kevin Draper, said this was an exciting time in the company’s development: “The new state-of-the-art distribution centre and headquarters reflect our commitment to solid, sustainable growth.”
