LTS Global Solutions’ New Facility in Hams Hall, Birmingham
LTS Global Solutions will soon be moving to a brand new eco built facility in Hams Hall in Birmingham.
Centrally located 10 miles from Birmingham city centre and just one mile from M42 junction 9, the new state-of-the-art facility built by Prologis offers unrivalled opportunities for LTS and its customers.
Being at the heart of the UK’s national motorway network and with an on-site intermodal rail freight terminal linking to three seaports and the Channel Tunnel, means LTS Hams Hall is perfectly connected to serve UK and International customers.
The 131,780 sq. ft. site consists of 119,255 sq. ft. of warehouse space and 12,525 sq. ft. of office space covering two floors. The 15-metre high warehouse will have two 2-level access doors, 12 dock access doors and in excess of 50 HGV parking spaces. Staff and visitors will benefit from a modern operational facility featuring a canteen, gym, showers and changing facilities, as well as a grass and picnic area, cycle shelter and 90 car parking spaces with electric car charging points.
Completion is expected in mid-July when we will commence fit out with a target date of being operational by the end of quarter 3.
Our first put away
Today we hit the biggest milestone, our first pallet was put away using one of our new VNA trucks. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work by a brilliant team coming together. There will be some long days ahead and lots still to do but for now, we reflect on what it has taken to get us this far.
We have a great building and equipment, plenty of space and a commitment to get it right and strive for better. If you’d like to join us either as an employee or customer, then now is the time. Get in touch!
We've got the keys
1st of August will be a day etched in our memories, we completed on the lease of our new facility and got the keys! Huge thank you to Prologis and Winvic for the handover and Gerald Eve for doing the snagging list. There are some bits to finish but we can now get on with the internal works and fitting out the offices. There are some updated images in the gallery if you want to check them out.
The Logistics Office is in Position
We have taken delivery of a modular building for our Logistics team – nicely colour coordinated, and with it being positioned in the warehouse they won’t have as far to walk. It looks tiny in comparison to the warehouse but we can assure you there is plenty of room in it.
We welcomed the UKWA
We were delighted to welcome the United Kingdom Warehouse Association to view the progress of the facility. The build is coming on nicely and the racking is going up fast. We’re into the final month before we move now, so we have plenty of moving parts and schedules to maintain.
Staff Visit Site
It was an exciting day as we took some of our team to visit the site. The interior is really starting to take shape now so they were able to see where they’d be working and the facilities they’d have. The team were impressed with the building and excited about moving in at the end of August. To view more internal images please check out the gallery.
First Trucks on Site!
The building is really coming on.
Our first two LTS vehicles visited what will become their new home to drop off the initial loads of racking.
The racking is being assembled next week ready for installation. You can view more images in the gallery.
Progress
There is so much to think about moving into a brand new building. This week the fire safety installation has begun and we have appointed the suppliers for lighting, CCTV, office partitions and the modular building.
Taking Shape
The site is really starting to take shape and in less than a month we can begin to install the warehouse racking!

First visit to Hams Hall
The site at Hams Hall in Birmingham became a location of interest and we commenced negotiations with Prologis.
The journey begins...
After many years at our Tilton Road headquarters and long periods of sustained growth, it became apparent we required larger premises to continuing to deliver on the needs of our customers and partners.
