Plant-based food retailer Huel will be taking over a warehouse site currently under construction in Milton Keynes.
PLP, a specialist UK logistics and industrial property business, has started the leasing of its new carbon-zero logistics park off Brickhill Road, near Caldecotte, with a pre-let to Huel.
The food business specialises in creating 'nutritionally complete food', with all 26 essential vitamins and minerals, protein, essential fats, carbs, fibre and phytonutrients.
Plant-based food retailer is set to take over a 71,000 sq unit which is currently under construction.
The site will allow the company with a new manufacturing and distribution facility to serve their growing customer base across the UK and Europe.
The unit is one of 10 being built as part of the first phase of PLP MK which will eventually total 1.06million sq ft.
Edward Jackson, Development Director at PLP commented: “Delivering best-in-class buildings, and a best-in-class business environment, speculatively at PLP MK demonstrates how confident we are in our product. Huel stands out from the crowd. We are delighted to welcome them to PLP MK and we look forward to welcoming many more customers in the near future.”
Ruvan Mendis, Chief Operations Officer of Huel said: “We are extremely excited to announce the opening of our new state of the art manufacturing site in Milton Keynes in early 2024. The site developed by PLP will have some of the best sustainability credentials in the country and reinforces our commitment to minimising our impact on animals and the environment.
This factory is a key part of our growth ambitions for the future, and over the coming months we’ll be recruiting for a wide range of manufacturing roles to operate the site, taking our overall team of Hueligans well past the 300 milestone.”
