Construction of the new purpose-built facility at the West Midlands Interchange will commence later this year
Carlsberg Britvic has been announced as the first occupier at the West Midlands Interchange (WMI), a £2 billion new national logistics hub currently being developed by global real estate investor, developer and manager Oxford Properties and Logistics Capital Partners (LCP). Carlsberg Britvic will invest £4 million in its new depot at the site, forming an exciting new milestone in its growth strategy.
Strategically located at Junction 12 of the M6 north of Wolverhampton, and just under 10 miles from the company’s current Wolverhampton depot, the 222,000 sq ft new unit will support Carlsberg Britvic’s ambitions for its UK logistics footprint, while laying the foundation for future growth.
Operations and deliveries from Carlsberg Britvic’s current depot will continue as normal while the new site is under construction. Following the opening of the new depot at WMI, expected in Q4 2026, the logistics operations in Wolverhampton will transfer fully to the new facility as part of a managed transition.
The new depot, purpose-built to Carlsberg Britvic’s requirements, will feature state-of-the-art facilities and will support the company’s growing logistics needs. Designed with a focus on energy efficiency and building performance, the depot is targeting a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ standard and will be a Net Zero Carbon Aligned building based on the pilot UK Net Zero Carbon Building Standard, while the roofs will be 100 per cent optimised for PV panels.
