Logistics firm buys £9m warehouse in Belfast as part of expansion plan

Manfreight bought the 100,000 sq ft site at 122-126 Duncrue Street in a deal supported and part-financed by Danske Bank.

The warehouse will operate as an ambient storage facility for dry freight, complementing the firm’s chilled storage site in Belfast Harbour.

The company says the deal is part of its strategy to expand its network across the UK and Ireland, “reinforcing its commitment to the highest standards of quality, safety, and compliance”.

Chris Slowey, managing director of Manfreight, said: “The key to Manfreight’s success is our ability to combine speed to market with scalability and highly bespoke levels of service across every sector we operate in.

“This warehouse acquisition has been driven by demand from customers who want one continuous line of data in their supply chain.

“We own and operate our own fleet and acquiring this facility means we can continue to maintain full control over our distribution, transportation and storage of our customers’ goods.

“We are grateful to Danske Bank for their support on this latest step in our journey.”

Mark Brown from Danske Bank said: “Manfreight is an ambitious local business which is continually investing in its end-to-end logistics offering to its customers.

“Danske Bank is pleased to be able to support Manfreight with its growth strategy and we look forward to seeing the business continue to thrive and expand its services.”
