Ocado Retail expands operations and invests in new property to meet demand

Ocado Retail has today announced the opening of a new regional distribution spoke in Nottingham, demonstrating the company’s continued growth and commitment to meeting increasing consumer demand.

Ocado Retail, which has been Kantar’s fastest growing retailer for the past 12 months, is investing to support its growth across the country, as the online grocer expands to strengthen its capabilities and better serve its growing customer base across the country. Once the Nottingham spoke is fully ramped, the site will add over 400 new jobs to the local community. 

The new facilities will further improve customer service and make Ocado’s operations more efficient whilst enabling further capacity to support its growth ambitions. 

Mat Ankers, Chief Financial Officer, Ocado Retail, commented: “More customers are choosing to shop with Ocado every day, and we’re committed to serving them nationally. As a result, we’re pleased to be investing into the expansion of our property portfolio. By expanding our infrastructure, we are not only driving greater efficiency and meeting customer demand but also enhancing the customer service experience. This is the essential framework for our growth mission, building a foundation for the next chapter of Ocado Retail”

“The new facility will allow us to deliver more customer orders and be located closer to customer homes to deliver more efficiently. We are continually on the lookout for similar urban and ultra-urban distribution properties across the UK to work with and support our existing portfolio, which will enable further operational efficiencies and growth in line with business aspirations.”
