Construction has begun on Max Spielman's new warehouse at Bromborough’s International Business Park, marking a significant milestone for the Timpson Group’s printing specialist.

The facility will be the first owned and occupied premises for Max Spielman since the Timpson Group acquired the brand 16 years ago.

Sir John Timpson, Chairman of the family-owned Timpson Group, joined contractor Caddick Construction at the Power Road site to commemorate the start of the £8 million project. The development will include a 77,400 sq. ft. industrial facility designed for storage, distribution, and internal mezzanine offices, along with car parking on the 9.5-acre site.

Caddick was awarded the contract following planning approval by Wirral Council in April 2024, marking its first collaboration with the Timpson Group. The project unites two prominent family-owned northern businesses in delivering the state-of-the-art facility.

Set for completion in September 2025, the new warehouse will bolster Max Spielman’s operational capabilities and contribute to the Timpson Group's continued growth. This development also expands Caddick’s industrial portfolio in the North West, which includes projects like Ark 42 at Trafford Park Road, undertaken for Trebor Developments.

Dave Saville, Regional Managing Director of Caddick Construction North West, commented: "The new development at Power Road is a huge investment by Timpson Group and a statement of intent by the definitive leader in photo printing - a business that has impressively diversified in an evolving market.

"As a family-owned business ourselves, our culture means a lot to us and we are very proud to be working in partnership with Timpson as a likeminded family-owned business, with which we share many values. We have a relatively short build programme in which we'll build brand new facilities for Max Spielman, and we are looking forward to progressing on site and building our wider industrial pipeline throughout 2025."
