Winvic Construction has been chosen to deliver Lidl's new UK headquarters building in Tolworth, London.

The 250,000 sq ft facility, which will take two years to build, is being developed five miles from Lidl's current HQ in Wimbledon.

Overall, the new HQ will generate further jobs, a boost to the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and will help to support the supermarket's expansion across the country.

Winvic has previously delivered Lidl's UK Distribution Centre in Exeter, with further distribution centres underway in Motherwell and Doncaster.

Winvic Director, Danny Nelson, said: "Securing the Lidl Headquarters contract is in part testament to Winvic's ability to exceed client expectations. We are delighted that the supermarket giant wants to now benefit from our commercial project expertise, following Winvic's completion of its Exeter distribution warehouse in 2017. The larger office space that will allow Lidl to grow its business even further, will be ready for occupation in two years."

Ingo Fischer, Lidl UK Board Director for Expansion and Development, added: "We are delighted to confirm the appointment of Winvic, to construct our new headquarters. It is a company much like Lidl, with ambitions of continued growth and exacting standards; we have every confidence that the building will be delivered with the same passion as the other Lidl developments Winvic has completed and is currently undertaking."
