In early 2022, we’ll open a state-of-the-art distribution centre in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire.
Standing at 660,000 square feet, Biggleswade will be the biggest distribution centre in our logistics network, capable of handling more than 2 million cases a week encompassing Frozen, Fresh and Ambient stock.
Along with improving service and availability to our existing stores, it’ll also support our plans for growth across London and the wider South and the South East.
In keeping with our Future of Food commitments, the site will be one of the UK’s most sustainable distribution centres.
Check out the video below to see how the site is coming along so far.
What our new site means to suppliers
For some suppliers the opening of this site will result in changes to their route to market. You may be affected by the change if you deliver stock to:
· Thurrock
· Wellingborough
· Andover
· Castlewood
· Cardinal
In the coming weeks, we’ll get in touch with you to let you know if you’re impacted and what we expect the impact to be for your business.
Please share this with any third parties or hauliers that you interact with.
If you’ve got any questions in the meantime, please speak to your Buyer or e-mail supplierengagement@coop.co.uk.
