Hathaway was appointed to deliver specialist roofing and external envelope works across MPS 1, 2, 3 and 4, the first phase of GLP’s Magna Park South development in Leicestershire.
Working alongside main contractor TSL, Hathaway’s extensive package included insulated composite roofing systems, high-performance wall cladding, rooflights, architectural parapet cladding, rainwater goods and associated flashings.
The buildings feature GLP’s distinctive blue colour palette, often referred to as the ‘Gazeley Blues’, combining a striking architectural appearance with high-performance insulated cladding systems. Designed to meet the demands of modern logistics operations, the facilities incorporate energy-efficient specifications, including photovoltaic-ready roofing.
The development has since become home to major logistics and distribution operators, including Amazon, JD.com, Whistl and Culina Group, highlighting the scale and commercial significance of Magna Park South.
