History and description
Magna Park was created by a collaboration between the Church of England and Asda in 1988;[1] constructed on the site of a former airfield (RAF Bitteswell) it is considered a pioneer of large distribution centres in the UK.[2] It is located in an area of land bounded by the M1, M6 and M69 motorways; known as the 'Golden Triangle' for its logistically favourable location.[3][4]
In 2005 a major fire at UK clothing retailer Primark's warehouse at the site destroyed much of the company's stock.[5]
In 2007 tenants included Asda, Britvic, Honda, Toyota, BT, Argos, LIDL, Merck Eurolab, TNT and Panasonic.[6] In 2008 it was the largest distribution centre in Europe.[1]
In 2013 police raided one of the smaller units to find a fully operational crystal meth lab and almost a million pounds in unused notes.
