DHL eCommerce opens new site in Newcastle
The 55,000 sq ft site will handle up to 15,000 parcels each day.
THE DEVELOPMENT follows the opening of DHL’s Coventry Hub last month, with both forming part of DHL eCommerce UK’s £482m investment into its UK infrastructure.
The new facility has been designed to align with DHL’s Go Green strategy which has been set to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Features include heating and lighting sensors to reduce energy usage, and ten EV charging points.
The site has been developed close to a previous facility, ensuring job stability for employees to transfer to the new location. The new space offers enhanced facilities to support employee wellbeing, including break-out areas. There will also be further local employment opportunities over time.
DHL eCommerce UK CEO Stuart Hill, says: “By sustainably growing our operations, we are boosting our capacity to meet the growing demands of customers, enhancing the working environment for our valued team members and upholding our commitment to provide excellent service for customers, both locally and internationally.”
