The Requirement<br />

Honda Logistics UK wanted to relocate to a new purposebuilt<br />

facility and needed to move swiftly to take advantage of<br />

a break in the lease on its existing headquarters building in<br />

Swindon and to be ready for the New Year sales rush.<br />

The Solution<br />

<strong>Prologis</strong> secured a site next to Honda’s manufacturing plant,<br />

five miles from Junction 15 of the M4. The team then worked<br />

closely with Honda to develop a new HQ and distribution<br />

centre for car parts, motorbikes and power equipment that<br />

was designed to enhance both the office and warehouse<br />

functions and to make Honda’s operations more efficient.<br />

Architects Michael Sparks Associates designed a 350,000 sq<br />

ft distribution centre with 21,000 sq ft of offices and following<br />

a 10 month build programme, Honda Logistics was able<br />

to move into its new headquarters in time to meet the<br />

January sales peak.<br />

The Result<br />

“<br />

We had wanted to change premises for some time<br />

and had already identified an alternative solution when<br />

the <strong>Prologis</strong> team stepped in at the eleventh hour.<br />

<strong>Prologis</strong> offered us big savings; swift delivery and a<br />

complete fit-out to suit our needs. They also delivered<br />

on their promises; gaining planning approvals, starting<br />

work and completing it when they said they would.<br />
