Weetabix grabs Safer Logistics Award

Safety first with M&S at Tomorrow’s Warehouse

Gain insight into the workings of the retailer’s highly automated Castle Donington distribution centre.

JAMES CARTER, Network H&S Manager, Marks & Spencer will present on how AI software tools have helped M&S to reduce incidents by 80% in less than 10 weeks at its massive Castle Donington DC.

Following the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic, M&S’s largest Ecommerce Distribution Centre at Castle Donington saw a heavy increase in customer orders to two million single orders per week.

This increase in demand meant more workers were required on-site. As a result, it was a requirement from senior management to ensure the safety of their colleagues was of the utmost importance and that incidents were kept to a minimum.

James Carter, Network Health and Safety Manager at M&S says: “Our colleagues are our most important asset and keeping them safe is the most important thing we do.” 

It was then a priority for the HSE team to investigate best-fit tools and technology in order to ensure they were equipped to easily identify areas of risk in their business and promote proactive decision-making that results in a safer workplace for staff.
