Greggs to create new National Distribution Centre in Kettering

Tritax Symmetry has announced plans for a new National Distribution Centre for Greggs plc at Symmetry Park, Kettering.

The planning application details proposals for 311,551 sq ft of logistics space on a 25.1-acre plot. The unit will be designed to a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ standard, achieving an EPC A rating and meeting Net Zero Carbon in Construction requirements.

The initiative is part of Greggs’ strategic growth plan, announced in 2021, which set out ambitious expansion targets requiring investment in significant supply chain capacity.

Greggs currently has 2,500 shops and its longer-term growth plans target an estate of significantly more than 3,000 shops in the UK. This investment will bolster its capacity to directly supply ambient and chilled products to a growing portfolio of shops.

Tritax Symmetry is also seeking planning permission for an additional 100,000 sq ft to enable Greggs to expand the site further. The centre will be a key part of Symmetry Park, Kettering, which extends to 136 acres in total and benefits from outline planning permission for 2,310,000 sq ft of logistics floor space overall.

Subject to planning, Greggs expects its National Distribution Centre on Symmetry Park, Kettering, to be operational in the first half of 2027.

Tritax Symmetry is being represented by BNP, Cushman and Wakefield, and DTRE. Wright Silverwood is representing Greggs.
