A £13 million expansion is underway at a South Kirkby cold storage and logistics company.

StoreLogs Ltd, a family-owned business based at Langthwaite Business Park, is building a new 46,250 sq ft temperature-controlled warehouse that will add space for more than 12,800 pallets.

Work is underway and the facility is due to be completed in May 2027.

The company specialises in temperature-controlled storage and distribution for customers in the food and logistics sectors.

Managing director Paul Martin said the investment was an important step for the business.

He said: "We are incredibly excited to see this development take shape.

"This isn't just about expanding our storage capacity. It's about investing in the future of the business.

"With the support of a dedicated and driven team, we are always looking for ways to improve what we do.

"Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. This new facility will help us serve them even better while continuing to build long-term partnerships."

Contractor Russell WBHO is building the facility, which will include insulated cladding, mobile racking, mechanical and electrical systems and a new service yard.

StoreLogs traces its roots back to 1983 when the Marr family founded Preston Cold Store.

It expanded to South Kirkby in 2007 and became StoreLogs in 2022 after separating from the J Marr Group.

Gareth Russell, managing director of Russell WBHO, said: "Our team is building a facility that will significantly boost capacity, efficiency and environmental sustainability at StoreLogs' head office. The refrigeration system provides industry-leading temperature control and has been proven to reduce carbon emissions."
