Client

Size

250,000 SQ FT

Approach

TMT were selected as the construction partner, collaborating closely with CBRE, to fulfil NVS’s (National Veterinary Services Group) ambitious goal of transforming ‘Spitfire House’ into Europe’s premier facility for storing and distributing veterinary products, an impressive 250,000sqft. This project involved doubling the site’s current size, ultimately making the new facility the largest fulfilment centre within the Patterson Pharmaceutical portfolio.

Given the complexity of this project, we were able to utilise our expertise across various sectors, including industrial, laboratories, and office projects, to ensure we delivered this premier facility for NVS on time and within budget, maintaining the high-quality standards for which TMT is renowned.

Environmental sustainability was also a top priority for the client, with Spitfire House featuring a cutting-edge electric vehicle fleet, comprising 48 EV charging stations, complemented by on-site solar PV electricity generation capabilities. Additionally, the project demonstrated a commitment to preserving biodiversity through the establishment of soft landscaping and the construction of a pond.

Our solution

Given the nature of the medical supplies handled by NVS, the facility required comprehensive temperature control, achieved through enhanced external wall cladding and a complete M&E solution. Additionally, an internal cold store with temperature-controlled dock levellers was constructed to maintain temperatures between 2-5 degrees during loading.

TMT played a key role in assembling a team of specialists, collaborating closely with client partners, to ensure the project met rigorous audit requirements. Our responsibilities included coordinating mechanical, electrical, data, sprinkler systems, racking, ductwork, drainage, and a secure room compliant with Home Office Security and transit regulations for storing and distributing schedule 2 and schedule 3 controlled medicines.

Additionally, a significant priority for the NVS management team was to guarantee that their investment had a beneficial influence on their employees. The well-being and culture of the NVS team held a prominent position on their agenda, the new 30,000sqft office features staff welfare facilities, a staff gym, well being area and acoustically treated workspaces.
