WORKING ON A PROLOGIS PARK
On behalf of everyone at Prologis
UK, I’d like to welcome you to our
Parklife community.
We believe all employees deserve the
best spaces and places in which to
work, which is why the buildings and
outdoor spaces on our Prologis Parks
are designed with your needs in mind.
From helping you get to work,
right through to suggestions about
where to find the nearest childcare
facilities or lunchtime walking routes,
this handbook is designed to help
you get the most out the Prologis
Park where you are based.
“ I’m proud of the community spirit that develops around each of these Parks.”
At Prologis, we’ve been creating
logistics parks in the UK for over
twenty years and I’m proud of the
community spirit that develops around
each of these Parks. To help us build
an even stronger community, we’d
love to hear your suggestions about
how we could improve our Prologis
Parks or things we could include in
this handbook for future employees.
Please email your feedback to
I hope you enjoy working on a
Prologis Park and wish you every
success in your career.
Kind regards
Paul WestonRegional Head
