Heathrow Unveils Shortlist Of 65 Potential Logistic Hub Sites

Construction News Image
Heathrow has unveiled a shortlist of 65 potential Logistic Hub sites across the UK to help deliver its new multi-billion pound expansion plan.

The off-site centres for construction and manufacturing will help ensure that businesses across the UK can form part of the airport's supply chain for its major infrastructure project.

The potential sites have been selected from an initial 121 applications. Once finalised, four final locations will pre-assemble components of the expanded airport before transporting them in consolidated loads to Heathrow.

Later today, 08 November, Heathrow will also announce 10 new locations that will host Business Summits next year, providing SMEs the opportunity to connect and trade face-to-face with Heathrow's supply chain.

Speaking ahead of the Supplier Awards this evening, Heathrow Chairman Lord Deighton said: "As the UK leaves the EU, Heathrow is an essential infrastructure project that will ensure Britain remains an open trading nation.

"As part of that, Heathrow's third runway will rely on talent from all over Britain helping to create a national asset for generations to come. This means new procurement opportunities for businesses in every region, helping drive growth and investment into local communities in all corners of this country. Our aim, to harness the skills we need through long-term projects such as the Logistics Hubs and Business Summits, will drive jobs and investment leaving a legacy of increased productivity for the construction sector.

"The third runway is not a London centric project – it is one we are opening up to the whole of the UK, asking for its skills and expertise to help build an asset this country so desperately needs to safeguard its future prosperity."

Civil Engineering Contractors Association chief executive Alasdair Reisner added: "We are keen that the whole of the UK benefits from the expansion of Heathrow. We see huge potential for the logistics hubs to stimulate the growth of new industrial heartlands across the country, manufacturing and assembling the high-quality components used by contractors to build world class new facilities for Heathrow."
