Morrisons at Amazon service to come to more UK cities

Ocado plans to add more delivery spokes to its network this year to meet increasing demand for its own grocery operation, as well as that of online delivery partner Morrisons.

Amazon is ramping up its distribution network in time for the Christmas rush, opening a second fulfilment centre in Doncaster. The internet giant said the new site, which is Amazon’s tenth UK fulfilment centre, will create 300 permanent jobs over the next three years.

In November, DHL Supply Chain revealed it had beaten off rival bids to renew a six-year fuel distribution contract with the UK’s fourth largest supermarket, Morrisons – a deal that extends their overall working relationship to 12 years.
