Waitrose has revealed plans to open its national distribution centre, developed by Gazeley at its Magna Park development, in Milton Keynes, in summer 2015. The NDC will be the size of twelve Premiership football pitches and will handle the distribution of around 25,000 nationally available grocery and Home department lines that can be found in Waitrose branches and on Waitrose.com.
Waitrose said the move will simplify the supply chain and improve efficiency of handing nationally available lines. David Jones, Waitrose Supply Chain Director, commented: "The decision to open our first National Distribution Centre marks a pivotal moment in our Supply Chain history and reflects our phenomenal growth.".
