A contractor has been appointed to deliver the first phase of a new £1 billion logistics hub in the West Midlands - with plans to begin operations there as early as next year.
Winvic Construction has been awarded the design stage brief for the 734-acre West Midlands Interchange scheme in Staffordshire.
The project, on land next to junction 12 of the M6, will eventually house a huge new multimodal logistics and industrial park, complete with its own rail freight terminal, which will connect up with the West Coast Main Line, and a new link road joining the site up to the A5 and A449.
