Construction is due to start next year on the new 900,000 sq ft distribution centre at the London Gateway Logistics Park
Marc Bolland, Chief Executive of Marks & Spencer, said: “London Gateway will become our third large distribution centre in the UK as we transform our logistics operations into a modern and agile supply chain, fit for the future of M&S.
“As we become an international, multichannel retailer, London Gateway will help us become more efficient by cutting costs and locating our supply chain closer to our stores and our international markets.
“It will also help us deliver against our Plan A objectives by removing road miles and emissions from our network.”
London Gateway is set to open by the end of this year.
The distribution centre will be used to store clothing, homeware and gifts before they are transported to UK and international M&S stores
