Fire Thorn, a real estate investor, just snapped up an 80 acre plot in Barton near Colville in Lessa Shire for a major logistics project. The site already has approval for two big storage and distribution buildings plus room for general industrial work with plans to pour in more than 125 million pounds. This spot sits right in the East Midlands Golden Triangle, the heart of UK logistics, with easy access off M1 Junction 22. Earlier phases here, by Mount Park, now house big names like Amazon, DHL, and Eddie Stobart, drawing in skilled workers and steady demand. Construction kicked off already, aiming for completion in 2027, boosting the area's prime status for large-scale operations.
