£24m Volvo distribution centre work begins 'another proud investment'
Construction has begun on a £24 million Volvo Group regional distribution centre at SEGRO Park Coventry, a 215-acre industrial and logistics development near Coventry Airport. The automated facility will handle parts distribution across Volvo’s UK and Ireland operations. Readers broadly welcomed the investment, while some expressed concern that automation could limit job creation and argued that manufacturing, rather than distribution, would bring greater benefits to Coventry.
