Peterborough, UK: JS Davidson has expanded its business with the acquisition of the cold storage arm of GXO Logistics UK.
JS Davidson (formerly Chiltern Cold Storage) has taken over the Spalding warehouse, complete with 6,500 of frozen pallet spaces and 15 members of staff who will transfer to JS Davidson under TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings) regulations. The new acquisition, which sits on a 3.5-acre site, will be known as Spalding Cold Store Ltd.
The move will help JS Davidson grow – the company plans to double the size of the business within the next four years. Plans are also in place to expand its Peterborough site.
JS Davidson says that Spalding Cold Store customers will benefit from JS Davidson’s services which include distribution, ambient, chilled and frozen storage.
