Brewer Greene King said it had optimised its supply chain in partnership with GXO after it unveiled its new 290,000sq ft warehouse and office space in Middleton.
The site, equivalent in size to four football pitches, will serve 1,000 Greene King managed and free trade pubs in the North West.
Greene King said the redevelopment of the Greater Manchester site – a £23m investment over the 15-year lease – brought together all elements of the supply chain, previously stored at three depots, under one roof.
Matt Starbuck, Greene King’s brewing and group supply chain MD, said: “This is an important step in optimising our supply chain operations in the North West and is the culmination of months of planning and hard work alongside our supply chain partner, GXO.
“By having all our food, drink and non-food items delivered from one depot, we have an agile and operationally efficient supply chain which is good news for our pub teams, customers and communities.”
Last month, the two companies extended their partnership for another 10 years.
