At NewCold we offer great and challenging job opportunities in around the world. We have built and operate 12 cold storages on three continents.
We are pleased to share an update on the work in progress on our Corby site in the UK.
We are enjoying every day of hard work in a collaborative environment with our construction contractors where trust, accountability, commitment, and therefore results are achieved. We worked more than 114,000 hours with only 3 minor injury/first aid accidents and 2 days lost time due to accidents. The construction activities in the low bay are in good progress. In the next 6 weeks, the activities concentrate on top floors pouring concrete, cladding, starting mechanical/electrical works, sprinklers and installation of mezzanine conveyors.
