Logistics... it is just logical!

LOGICALLY speaking, the outskirts of Grimsby is ripe for logistic development.
Quick, empty roads linking direct to the motorway network, the UK's biggest port on the doorstep and an airport that can handle freight as well as passengers.
So the news that Katoen Natie is coming to town should not be a surprise.
And what a development it will be. Phase one is a £9-million investment alone, and the masterplan - realised in five to 10 years - should see a £38-million spend on the 12 hectare plot.
There's the small matter of hundreds of construction jobs and 150 permanent positions too.
Hobson Way, for so long dubbed the road to nowhere, is now the route to anywhere, not just in the UK - but for major global manufacturers looking to get their product - be it chemical or cosy chair - into Britain.
Criticised in the pasty for investing in such infrastructure without people on the land, the local authority should be praised for foresight and realising how much more attractive a site is with a road in place.
So perhaps this weekend we should all raise a glass - filled with Belgium's finest export (Stella - of course) to Katoen Natie, and the graft that has gone in to getting them here.
Let's just hope the planning process doesn't become a hangover.
