Global care company secures ‘major’ Yorkshire distribution facility

A North Yorkshire care company has secured a ‘major’ distribution facility in the heart of the region as part of its global growth.

Harrogate-based CoreCare Global has leased a 400,000 sq ft centre off Junction 31 of the M62.

Known as California 400, the cross-docked distribution facility sits within a 20-acre site on Wakefield Europort, and was acquired by Broadland Properties from Argos who occupied the facility until the beginning of July.

Founded in 1972, CoreCare Global has grown into an international organisation, and plans to use California 400 to support ongoing work that it facilitates to the healthcare sector.

Tom Hulbert, from CoreCare Global, commented: “As a direct result of increased business it was important that we expanded our distribution capability and wanted a secure, modern facility close to the national motorway network.

“California 400 ticks every box which made it the perfect base for us as we embark on our next phase of growth.”

Gidon Amar from Broadland Properties added: “We are delighted to welcome CoreCare to California 400.

“Having received the enquiry in mid-July with occupation needed within two weeks, it goes to show what can be achieved when all parties are pulling in the same direction.

“Agreeing a letting of this size in such a timescale is excellent in any environment, not least during a pandemic. Credit goes to consultants, solicitors and the wider teams on both sides.”
