Panattoni, the world’s largest privately owned industrial developer, hosted a steel signing ceremony to commemorate the progress of the Panattoni Park Central A1[M] project. This landmark event celebrates the start of the steel erection phase of the largest speculative logistics warehouse currently under construction in the UK.
Winvic Construction Ltd has been appointed by Panattoni to design and construct A1[M], a highly sustainable industrial warehouse spanning 770,000 sq ft with an 18m haunch height. The facility is designed with sustainability at its core, targeting BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ and offices rating EPC ‘A+’.
The project, which is on schedule to be completed by Q4 2025, will feature state-of-the-art facilities including 8 level access doors, 100 dock doors, 595 car parking spaces and 217 HGV trailer parking spaces and also features first and second-floor office space, an external hub office, and a gatehouse. Winvic is delivering extensive site infrastructure, including roadways, service yards, car parks, drainage, and landscaping, all designed to support the facility’s efficient operation.

Located near Junction 34 of the A1(M) on the border of Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire, the scheme is strategically positioned to provide seamless access to major road networks including the A1, M1, M18, and M180, making it a prime hub for national and international supply chains.
The event included key stakeholders, project partners, and local dignitaries, including members of Bassetlaw District Council, highlighting the economic and environmental impact of Panattoni’s continued investment in sustainable logistics solutions.
Danny Nelson, Managing Director of Industrial, Distribution and Logistics at Winvic, said: “It’s great to once again be working in partnership with valued client, Panattoni. Winvic is proud to be delivering the largest speculative logistics warehouse currently under construction in the UK, a testament to our expertise in delivering high-quality industrial projects with industry-leading sustainability credentials. The team has made great progress with the erection of the steel frame, and we look forward to building on our already strong relationship with Panattoni throughout the remainder of the project.”
Dan Burn, Head of Development for the North West and Yorkshire at Panattoni commented on the news, saying: “Panattoni Park Central A1[M] represents a bold statement about the future of logistics in the UK, and the steel signing is a momentous occasion to celebrate the collaborative efforts that have brought us to this stage.
This project will not only provide state-of-the-art and highly sustainable facilities but also support regional growth through job creation and s
upply chain enhancements. With a workforce highly skilled in manufacturing and logistics, and competitive wage levels, the location is ideal for this large-scale development. The project is expected to attract major occupiers and drive continued investment in the region.”
Cllr Charles Adams, Cabinet Member for Business and Skills at Bassetlaw District Council, also expressed his enthusiasm: “It’s fantastic that Panattoni has made such a significant investment in our community, and it is clear they have a commitment to fostering economic growth and providing job opportunities in the region.
“We are especially pleased to learn about Panattoni’s plans to create highly skilled opportunities that will help to drive up wage growth in our district and maximise the skills of residents.
“The Council has an ambition for Bassetlaw to become the greenest, most sustainable district in which to live and work, and Panattoni’s determination for this warehouse to be as environmentally sustainable as possible aligns with our own vision.
“We are excited to see the positive impact that Panattoni Park Central A1[M] can bring to new and existing businesses, residents and our communities.”
