Iceland Foods has opened the doors to a 500,000sq ft warehouse in Warrington, which will be operated by GXO Logistics, writes Carol Millett.
The £100m facility will employ more than 750 people. Located at Omega Park, the new site is Iceland’s largest warehouse to date.
It will serve as a major hub for distributing products to over 350 Iceland stores nationwide, with the potential to expand its reach to 500 locations in the future.
The warehouse, which includes ambient, chilled and frozen chambers, has been designed with future growth in mind and will drive efficiency and ensure a resilient supply chain. The site will also be partly powered by solar panels to increase green energy consumption.
