Well I've not actually been onto the site as yet, but decided to have a quick reccy whilst walking the dog today. Took a few snapshots and found a nice access point through the otherwise well fenced perimeter.
Geodis is one of the top 5 international distribution companies. The "United Distribution" arm of their UK operations was terminated in 2002. My interest was peaked with the following article in the local newspaper's archives.
With any luck, I can get together with someone and have a closer look. Chances are there's nothing specifically MOD related inside, but thats no reason not to have a nosey anyway.

MOD deal again
From the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, first published Tuesday 4th Jul 2000.
GEODIS United Carriers, which has a depot in Bury, has announced it has successfully re-tendered for the Ministry of Defence UK freight and parcels contract.
A spokesman for the Ministry said: "The award was made following a competitive tender exercise involving a number of major carriers and the Geodis United Carriers proposal was deemed to represent the best value for money from among the proposals submitted."
The period of the contract is for two years.
Peter Halshaw of Geodis said: "We are proud to have retained the MOD freight and parcels contract, particularly in the face of such fierce competition."
