A move to a new distribution centre will allow Furniture Village to offer quicker deliveries, according to the retailer.
It has opened the 168,000sqft centre next to its previous 96,000sqft unit on the Marston Gate, Milton Keynes. It says the investment will ‘double its logistical capacity and support hundreds of existing and new jobs, while unlocking faster delivery times for customers, strengthen service nationwide and give the business the scale it needs to support rising order volumes.’
The new facility also has 16,000sqft of office space and a bespoke training facility.
‘Securing our new national distribution centre gives us the capacity and flexibility to keep pace with customer demand while investing in the future of our team. By increasing our fast-delivery stock and streamlining our operations, we’re able to offer customers a quicker, smoother experience from purchase to delivery, wherever they are in the UK,’ says David Ayers, Furniture Village operations director.
By remaining at Marston Gate, Furniture Village has been able to retain its experienced workforce and avoid operational disruption often associated with relocations.
