A Smart, Sustainable Industrial Development
Project Overview:
136 Edinburgh Avenue is a best-in-class industrial development forming part of the wider regeneration of Slough Trading Estate. Delivered in collaboration with Francis Construction for leading industrial developer SEGRO, this project comprised the construction of nine state-of-the-art units totalling over 110,000 sq ft (10,200 m²).
West & West served as the electrical contractor, leading the project from Stage 3 design through to full delivery. Our team embedded high-performance infrastructure tailored to SEGRO’s long-term operational goals, setting a new benchmark for sustainable, intelligent, and future-ready industrial spaces.
