In August 2021, the John Lewis Partnership announced the lease for a 1 million square foot distribution centre at Fenny Lock in Milton Keynes.
With greater numbers of online orders due to the pandemic, the Partnership moved to meet this growing demand by creating what will become our second largest distribution centre.
Andrew Murphy, Partner and Executive Director of Operations for the Partnership said; “This one-of-a-kind distribution centre represents a fantastic opportunity to power the continued growth of Johnlewis.com, ensuring that we can keep pace with customer demand – both for our products and for our wide range of fulfilment and delivery options.
“We will invest in the site’s automation capability to support future growth and, over the next two years, we will recruit 500 new Partners to work at the distribution centre, which we plan to start operating during summer 2022.”
