My mistake. It's a huge unit not to contain warehousing? I simply assumed It was, due to it's height and the multiple loading bays.It must consist of multiple levels inside then,building it at that height. I've seen the effects and job losses through automated production,warehousing and distribution(I've also seen the calamity caused by one minor glitch)and although I understand the financial reasons for doing it,I sometimes look at it and mutter "forgive them Lord for they know not what they do".. I dread to think what jobs are going to be available for my grandchildren.
Luckily my grandkids are young and want to be doctors, nurses and vets. I know it's a matter of time when they decide they want to be influencers or social media executives, the things I don't have a clue about.
I have young ones and older ones who will have to make these decisions very shortly.One of my Granddaughters recently asked me for my thoughts on her career path...I advised she stuck in with her music lessons and play the 2 very decent guitars I've bought her over the last 8 years. I couldn't give her a serious answer because I have no idea what the latest fad will be in a year's time,never mind 10 years time...
Yep,huge came to my mind as well.. I remember when they built Eurocentral up Holytown/Motherwell way (fairly near to me). Large units in a huge industrial estate which would be served by public transport(train and bus),this would provide huge opportunity for Scotland's beleaguered workforce...Ended up if you never had a car,(that's me),you were fooked
Not sure if it's still exists, but there used to be a short platform at Melton Halt (basically on the doorstep of the Amazon wharehouse) which some trains stopped at for the Capper Pass workforce.
It also has a coffee shop on the ground floor which is open to the public. Don't know if they are planning on applying for a drinks licence. They have reused a lot of the original Europa House glazing internally to give a mirrored effect in the corridors
