The Felix Project upsizes at SEGRO Park Acton
London’s largest food distribution charity, The Felix Project, is expanding its London footprint by moving its West London depot to a new unit at SEGRO Park Acton, to help in its vital work of fighting hunger and food waste in London
SEGRO recently refurbished the 20,882 sq ft unit to high sustainability standards, undertaking complex works tailored to the charity’s specific needs. The developer worked closely with the charity throughout the design and construction process to ensure their requirements were fully met.
The refurbishment included redesigning the car park to accommodate more vehicles and larger vans, installing additional EV charging points, replacing the roof, extending the first-floor office space, and creating an outdoor seating area to support employee wellbeing.
This space is in addition to The Felix Project’s existing facilities at SEGRO Park Deptford, SEGRO Park Greenford Central and SEGRO’s Great Cambridge Industrial Estate.
Joseph Durrant, West London Depot Manager at The Felix Project, said:
“We are hugely grateful to SEGRO for its support. This new unit in Acton represents a huge increase in size compared to our previous site in Park Royal. The freezer space is now triple the size and the chiller space has quadrupled. This means we will be able to rescue and store significantly more food and in turn help even more organisations who are feeding those facing food insecurity across West London.”
Ben Gomez-Baldwin, Director, London at SEGRO said:
“We are proud to be supporting The Felix Project’s expansion and understand the urgency and importance of its mission.
“This is the charity’s fifth unit with SEGRO, demonstrating a clear reflection of a strong, long-term partnership. We are confident that the additional space will meaningfully strengthen the charity’s capacity and impact.”
The Felix Project rescues high-quality surplus food that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to over 1,200 community organisations across London who are feeding people in need. As part of its wider mission, it is also supported by The Coronation Food Project, an initiative inspired by His Majesty King Charles III to increase food redistribution and drive positive social impact.
SEGRO Park Acton is ideally located between Acton and Shepherd’s Bush in West London, offering excellent access to the A40 and A406, with direct links to Central London and the M40, M4, M25, and M1 motorways.
