Victoria PLC
('Victoria' or the 'Company', or the 'Group')
Change of registered office
Economic & environmental benefits from one of UK's first net-zero carbon warehouses
Victoria PLC (LSE: VCP), the international designers, manufacturers and distributors of innovative flooring, announces that it has changed the address of its registered office with immediate effect to:
Worcester Six Business Park
Worcester
WR4 0AE
United Kingdom
The new Victoria Head Office is located within the Company's state-of-the-art, carbon-neutral, purpose-built 185,000 square foot distribution and administration centre. This fulfilment centre, one of the UK's first net-zero carbon warehouses, replaces the original UK flooring distribution site warehouse in Kidderminster, and provides a larger and better equipped bespoke facility to match the strong growth performance of the Group.
As well as providing significant environmental benefits, the new site brings a number of operational benefits to the Group, using the latest technology to deliver higher productivity, improving logistical efficiency and improving customer service, which is a key market differentiator for Victoria.
Further information about the new Worcester fulfilment centre
The new facilities at Worcester Six Business Park are one of the UK's first net-zero carbon warehouses. It achieves this through the building materials used in its construction and the way it is operated. The site features solar panels which provide all of the site's electricity needs including 125kW of electric vehicle charging infrastructure with 32 charge points for electric cars and forklifts, a rainwater harvesting system to provide recycled water for use in the toilets and to wash delivery trucks, and lower energy consuming lighting and heating to ensure the warehouse does not use more energy than it creates.
