WAREHOUSE CONSTRUCTION IN HULL FOR AUNT BESSIE’S
WAREHOUSE CONSTRUCTION IN HULL PROJECT OVERVIEW
UK frozen food producer Aunt Bessie’s appointed FSC to design and construct a new on-site ambient storage facility at their Hull site.
Before the project, all room-temperature storage was outsourced to off-site facilities, creating logistical inefficiencies and ongoing rental costs. The client required a purpose-built storage building that would bring ambient capacity in-house while supporting operational efficiency.
FSC delivered a complete design-and-build solution, providing a fully operational steel portal-frame facility tailored to the client’s manufacturing and storage requirements.
The project enhanced manufacturing capability while maintaining strict food-sector hygiene standards
