Ben Maynard, Hull East’s Terminal Manager, said: “The facility would ideally suit a single customer seeking a large site and with the potential for further expansion if required.
“UM Terminals prides itself on the personal, bespoke service we offer customers which means that, for the right customer, we can tailor our methylation facility to meet their exact needs whether that includes expanding or modifying facilities.
“We have a small, highly knowledgeable and personable team who have a proven track record of building long-term, effective relationships with our clients.”
The Hull terminals are part of the UM Terminals strategic capability across the UK with other terminals located at Liverpool and Portbury.
During the last couple of years, UM Terminals has undertaken a programme of investment across a number of its sites, including Hull East and West, ensuring its facilities continue to be of the highest possible standard, while also meeting some of the bulk liquid storage requirements of newer customers which have been onboarded more recently.
Vic Brodrick, UM Terminals’ Managing Director, said: “All of our teams have a can-do attitude and pride themselves on going above and beyond to meet our customers’ needs. We have many examples, not just in Hull but across all our terminals, where we have grown with our customers and established long-term partnerships.”
