Manfreight Acquires 100,000 Sq Ft Belfast Warehouse

Leading logistics firm Manfreight has increased its warehousing capacity in Northern Ireland with the £9 million purchase of a 100,000 sq ft facility in Belfast, with support from Danske Bank.

From its Craigavon headquarters, Manfreight operates across the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe, offering integrated warehousing, distribution and supply chain services centred on efficiency, transparency and sustainability.

The new site at 122–126 Duncrue Street will serve as an ambient storage facility for dry freight, complementing the company's chilled warehouse at Belfast Harbour and its temperature-controlled operation in Skelmersdale, England.

Part-financed by Danske Bank, the deal aligns with Manfreight's plan to expand its BRCGS-accredited warehousing network across the UK and Ireland, reinforcing its commitment to quality, safety and compliance.

The investment also reflects rising demand for flexible storage and distribution solutions, supported by end-to-end digital tracking that provides full visibility from collection through to delivery.

Chris Slowey, Managing Director of Manfreight, said: "The key to Manfreight's success is our ability to combine speed to market with scalability and highly bespoke levels of service across every sector we operate in.

"This warehouse acquisition has been driven by demand from customers who want one continuous line of data in their supply chain. We own and operate our own fleet and acquiring this facility means we can continue to maintain full control over our distribution, transportation and storage of our customers' goods. We are grateful to Danske Bank for their support on this latest step in our journey."

Mark Brown from Danske Bank said: "Manfreight is an ambitious local business which is continually investing in its end-to-end logistics offering to its customers. Danske Bank is pleased to be able to support Manfreight with its growth strategy and we look forward to seeing the business continue to thrive and expand its services."
