Pets at Home is set to open a new distribution centre in the West Midlands, having taken a lease on a 670,000 square foot development site at Redhill Business Park in Stafford.

The site will consist of a warehouse unit, three-storey office and two double-storey hub offices. It will also have a recycling store, tote store and a gatehouse.

A planning application is expected to be submitted to Stafford Borough Council in September after a period of online consultation with local stakeholders. Construction could start on site in 2021, subject to planning consent, with completion pre fit-out anticipated during 2022.

The scheme will be delivered by Stoford Developments.

Dan Gallagher, joint managing director of Stoford, said: “We’re excited to deliver this scheme on behalf of Pets at Home, which will support both their current position as the UK’s leading pet care business as well as their future growth trajectory.”
