XPO Logistics lands Asos fulfilment centre deals
XPO Logistics has snagged a contract to manage a new fulfilment centre in Lichfield Staffordshire for online fashion retailer Asos.
The 437,000 square foot DC at Fradley Park is expected to commence operations in August, creating about 2,000 new jobs over the next three years.
The new contract expands XPO's eight-year relationship with Asos, which has also renewed XPO's deal to manage its flagship fulfilment centre at Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
Mark Holland, Chief Operating Officer, Asos, which recently announced record financial results for the six months ended 28th February, says: "Over the past eight years, the XPO team has proven itself to be a superb partner for us, so we are very pleased to be expanding the scope of their role as we build the foundations for our future growth in the UK and around the world."
In addition to Barnsley and Lichfield, XPO also manages a UK returns site for Asos in Doncaster.
