The retailer is in talks to transfer the operation at the nearby Kuehne+Nagel-run Celestia depot, which services Waitrose, to the national distribution centre.
The NDC, which will be the size of 12 Premiership football pitches, will handle the distribution of around 25,000 nationally available grocery and Home department lines that can be found in Waitrose branches and online.
The NDC will deliver the national lines via Waitrose’s four regional distribution centres (RDCs). It also simplifies the supply chain and improves the efficiency of handling nationally available lines that have historically had to be sent between RDCs. This will enable more sustainable growth.
