Firethorn Trust<\/a> has appointed Winvic Construction<\/a> to deliver its 25.5-acre Ascent Logistics Park in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire<\/h2>\n

With a sharp focus on promoting sustainability, the Ascent Logistics Park contract was awarded to Winvic on the basis of its ability to deliver Firethorn\u2019s requirement of a net zero carbon<\/a> scheme.<\/p>\n

The design includes LED lighting to offices, electric vehicle charging points and solar power generation.<\/p>\n

The scheme will also feature outdoor amenity spaces with expansive landscaping, dedicated cycle and pedestrian routes and modern welfare facilities.<\/p>\n

Permission for construction to start at Ascent Logistics Park was granted by Central Bedfordshire Council<\/a> in January, and work will commence imminently with the first units due to be delivered by Q4 2021.<\/p>\n

\u2018Delivering a net-zero scheme\u2019<\/h3>\n

Chris Webb, partner at Firethorn, said: \u201cAs one of the leading contractors within the industrial and logistics market, we were particularly impressed by Winvic\u2019s extensive project experience<\/a> and ability to deliver our vision for a net-zero carbon scheme.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinvic\u2019s commitment to sustainability is strongly aligned with our own, and the delivery of Ascent Logistics Park will be a milestone moment for Firethorn and our vision to drive positive, sustainable change for the region, local businesses and the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Danny Nelson, Winvic\u2019s director of industrial, distribution & logistics, added: \u201cIt\u2019s a rewarding time for Winvic, as the company\u2019s reputation for delivering quality industrial schemes is evidently being bolstered by our ability to deliver our clients\u2019 net zero ambitions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdditionally, it\u2019s fantastic to be working with a new client and our partnership work to date with Firethorn has illustrated that we share the same vision for the net zero Ascent Logistics Park in Leighton Buzzard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very much looking forward to getting started on site and exceeding expectations at every step.\u201d<\/p>\n
