Temperature-controlled storage specialist Magnavale has secured planning and funding to construct a fully automated multi-temperature cold store in Easton, Lincolnshire that could create up to 530 jobs once complete. The unit, which could store up to 96,000 pallets, would be run entirely on renewable energy, which would make it ‘Europe’s most efficient cold storage facility’, Chesterfield-based Magnavale said. “Environmentally responsible brands seeking to minimise their carbon footprint on the path to UK net zero will now have a simple choice when it comes to the greenest option for their supply chain,” said a spokesperson for the company. Job creation Construction of the unit is expected to create 230 jobs over two years and a further 300 jobs would become available on a permanent basis once the facility was fully operational.
