It employs 38,000 people and operates over 7.4 million square metres of warehouse space across 26 countries world wide.  Alliance acted as planning consultants and presented evidence to a public inquiry which successfully secured a more flexible planning consent allowing road transportation as an alternative to rail, helping secure the future competitiveness of the facility.
