Leading UK logistics provider, the Meachers Global Logistics, has invested over £¼ million in the refurbishment and extension of its headquarters at Nursling, Southampton. The renovation and fitout of Meachers headquarters follows the winning of a number of major contracts for the company’s transport, warehousing and freight forwarding services.
Carried out by Eastleigh based HP Contracts, the refurbishment includes the building of an extension to double the size of Meachers Transport’s traffic office from 77 to 154 square metres. Undertaken over a three-month period, the work has included the total reconfiguration of the building to provide new administrative and management offices, a new entrance and reception area and conference room.
The company’s freight forwarding office, also at Nursling, has been given a similar makeover with the company more than doubling its administrative area by expanding into the adjacent building. To cater for an expansion in warehousing contracts, Meachers has contracted HP Contracts to reconfigure its existing racking and install new racking.
The fitout included the installation of new ceilings, partitioning, lighting and an entrance porch as well as the refurbishment of kitchens, cloakrooms and stairwells.
“We are delighted with our refurbished buildings which provides us with a functional and prestigious headquarters that reflects our status as a leading UK logistics provider”, says Stuart Terris, Deputy Managing Director of Meachers Global Logistics. “HP Contract has done an excellent job which was completed on time and within budget”, he concluded.
