PROJECT BACKGROUND
Power & Infrastructure Upgrade at Evri’s South-East Distribution Hub.
As one of the UK’s fastest-growing parcel delivery networks, Evri relies on the smooth, uninterrupted operation of its regional distribution hubs. With parcel volumes continuing to rise—driven by the sustained growth of e-commerce— Evri’s South-East hub required a comprehensive power and infrastructure upgrade to improve energy capacity, site resilience, and future-readiness for electric logistics.
To deliver this upgrade in a fully operational, 24/7 live environment, Westbury FM appointed L-A-C as the specialist delivery partner. With extensive experience managing live-site projects, L-A-C was trusted to execute a seamless transition without impacting daily operations.
