The company has today announced that it will invest £90M in a brand-new state-of-the-art fulfilment centre in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Set to be located at Fradley Park, the warehouse will be operational within 12 months and will allow for gradual ramp up with testing to meet the capacity required for peak trade in 2023. The warehouse will occupy an area of 437,000sq ft and is expected to employ as many as 2,000 people at the site over the next three years.

This job-creating investment in Lichfield is exactly the type of long-term commitment we need from businesses as we build back better from the pandemic.”
