PLP signs up CIRRO Fulfillment to 345,000 sq ft logistics unit in Staffordshire
PLP has secured CIRRO Fulfillment, trading as Super Smart Service, a leading global e-commerce fulfilment service provider, for a 15 year lease at PLP Stafford, its speculatively developed 345,000 square foot project at Stone Business Park in Staffordshire.
PLP Stafford is a highly specified logistics warehouse totalling 345,039 sq ft, including 20,000 sq ft of offices and with a clear internal height of 18 metres. PLP Stafford has achieved BREEAM Excellent, EPC A certifications and a 10% biodiversity net gain. The development also achieved both Carbon Neutral and Carbon Net Zero status, as per the UK Green Building Councils Net Zero Buildings Framework. PLP’s carbon net zero (CNZ) framework combines CNZ construction with CNZ ready design, to enable future occupiers to achieve CNZ operation by utilising built-in renewable energy features and procuring appropriate renewable energy supplies. This includes the use of solar photovoltaics, air source heating and cooling, LED lighting and electric car charging points.
PLP Stafford was acquired in 2022 by PLP’s second investment vehicle (UKLV 2), which is owned by majority investor Ivanhoé Cambridge alongside The Peel Group, Greater Manchester Pension Fund and PLP.
Keith Wilson, Development Director at PLP, commented: “We are delighted to welcome CIRRO Fulfillment to PLP Stafford, a ‘best in class’ facility in an exceptionally strong location. Securing such a successful and dynamic occupier on a long-term lease here is a huge endorsement of PLP’s specification, design and ESG credentials.”
“We are thrilled to complete the lease with PLP so promptly following the recent opening of a brand new facility in Staffordshire in early July,” said Charles Lu, Head of Business Development at CIRRO Fulfillment Europe. “This state-of-the-art facility is an excellent addition as we gear up for the peak season, enhancing our capabilities to serve our customers better and more sustainably.”
