Tesco is making a major investment in a new distribution centre at DP World London Gateway to meet the demands of its growing store network.
Due to open in 2029, the new facility will be equipped with the latest technology to support the supermarket’s growth and is expected to achieve BREEAM Outstanding certification.
Tesco is collaborating with Witron, an experienced logistics partner, to bolster its network capacity at the site.
Andrew Woolfenden, Tesco UK distribution & fulfilment director, said: “Our distribution network is vital for ensuring customers receive products at the right place, time and condition.
“As demand grows across our store network, we’re excited to partner with Witron and DP World to develop a distribution centre that leverages the latest technology, enhancing our supply chain and supporting our decarbonisation goals.
“By locating at London Gateway, we can also take full advantage of the seaport and rail infrastructure.”
