With 14 sites across the UK, our business has enjoyed long-standing inventory stability. However, we're continuing to grow. A recent example is our Peterborough site, where we've expanded storage capacity from 25,500 to 70,000 pallet spaces and introduced cutting-edge automation to deliver greater customer value and reduce waste.

You'll be welcomed into a collaborative and supportive environment, where you'll be introduced to key colleagues and spend time at our sites to gain a deep understanding of how we operate and deliver value to customers.
