Buy It Direct Group announces new online warehouse
UK-based online retailer Buy It Direct Group has signed a deal for a new warehouse - a 525,000 sq ft facility at EMDC, near East Midlands Airport.
“At 18 metres high, this well-spec'd building will give us nearly 90,000 extra pallet spaces for some of our appliances, bathroom products and furniture,” Nick Glynne, CEO at Buy It Direct Group, said in a LInkedIn post.
He added: “The location is perfect for us as its is near our Mansfield warehouse which means our existing ops team can manage the new site. We also now have an ideal base to ramp up our two man delivery network.”
“We're managing the project ourselves and have ordered all the kit needed for our fit-out so we can start despatching by the end of the summer.”
Glynne concluded: “Due to our growth forecast, this shed will be full within four years but in the meantime, at least for the next three years, we will have excess space to offer a pick, pack and despatch service to third parties, ideally for oversized goods.”
