DP World lines up Uniserve for new London Gateway port DP World has continually refused to talk about its prospective customers, except to say that it is confident about the commercial viability of the project. Simon Moore, London Gateway's chief executive, said: "People who are coming have concerns over how they may be treated in between time if we make their names public now." Uniserve is understood to be planning to build 1m sq ft of warehousing in the logistics park, though the move is not expected to undermine the company's proposals also to expand at London Gateway's main competitor Felixstowe, where it is also investing heavily. Richard Everitt, the Port of London Authority chief executive, said one of the main attractions of the new port was its location. Felixstowe may be closer to the main shipping lanes but in terms of hinterland, London Gateway is much closer to the main consumer markets. When every big company today is looking to cut distribution costs, fuel bills and carbon emissions, it makes sense to cut the distance goods travel by lorry by as much as possible. London Gateway is due to open at the end of next year. Uniserve declined to comment.
