Bidfood signs at Worcester Six 

By Liza Helps Property Editor Logistics Matters

BIDFOOD AGREED a build to suit scheme which will comprise a state-of-the-art cold store with ancillary office space at ground and first floor, a 40m-deep service yard providing sufficient loading docks, level access doors and parking.

Planning has recently been secured for the 62,431 ft2  building and it is expected that work will commence at the beginning of 2024.

Stoford has also submitted planning for a unit on Plot 8B, alongside the Bidfood application. It is a strategy the developer has deployed previously at Worcester Six, providing a clear route to the delivery of a unit for potential occupiers. The proposed unit extends to 57,705 ft2 and can be ready for occupation in Q4 2024. 

Bidfood which supplies more than 10,000 products to over 45,000 caterers and foodservice businesses around the UK, is opening its first facility in the region, occupying a bespoke building on Plot 8A. 

Bidfood Head of Property, Estate Services & Procurement Claire Cox said: “The new depot in Worcester will provide excellent transport links to the Midlands region, enhancing our ability to provide customers with service excellence, as well as benefiting the local community with around 200 new jobs.”

Once fully developed, Worcester Six will provide 2.1 million sq ft of accommodation. It already benefits from more than 850,000 sq ft having been delivered or committed across the scheme.

Joint agents are Harris Lamb and BNP Paribas Real Estate
