Electricals retailer AO is marking five years of operations at its Larkhall delivery depot with new investment in its fleet, site improvements, and local job creation.
The online retailer first moved to its 20,000sq ft site at Strutherhill Industrial Estate in July 2021, relocating from its previous base at Canderside Toll Distribution Centre.
Since then, the Larkhall outbase has become a key part of AO’s UK delivery network.
To support continued growth in Scotland, AO has now invested in a brand-new fleet of delivery vans and created eight full-time jobs for people in South Lanarkshire.
The investment also includes upgrades to the depot itself, with refreshed signage and improvements to employee facilities, including newly redecorated office, training, and break room spaces.
Scott Chapman, Larkhill depot manager, said: “Reaching five years in Larkhall is a really proud moment for us.
“Over that time, we’ve built a fantastic team and become part of the local community.
“This investment is about building on that - continuing to create opportunities for local people and making sure we remain a great place for local people to work and grow.
“We’re excited about the future and looking forward to welcoming new team members.”
