30 Second Briefing
Star Power has relocated its South West depot from Portishead to a larger Avonmouth facility adjacent to the M5 to consolidate operations and shorten delivery routes across the region. Group managing director Richard Miller says the single-site move is intended to improve health and safety performance, cut the depot’s environmental footprint and provide a better working environment for engineering and logistics teams. The Avonmouth site expands capacity within Star Power’s national depot network, which also includes hubs in Kent and Warrington, supporting future growth in temporary power provision for construction and infrastructure projects.
Technical Brief
- Enhanced working environment is intended to support compliance with modern health, safety and welfare expectations for depot-based staff.
- For major construction and infrastructure schemes, a larger regional depot de-risks temporary power availability during peak programme periods.
Our Take
Avonmouth’s position on the M5 corridor and close to Bristol has attracted several sustainability-tagged industrial and logistics projects in our coverage, suggesting Star Power is aligning with an emerging low‑carbon and port‑adjacent infrastructure hub rather than a purely local relocation.
