CEVA Logistics is set to launch a new large-scale warehouse operation in Derby to support its e-commerce customers.
The new 508,000sq ft warehouse, which is scheduled to go live in August 2026, is expected to create around 300 new jobs, the third party logistics provider said this week.
The dedicated facility will manage the storage, handling and distribution of customer inventory, with the aim of providing faster, more efficient customer deliveries across the UK.
It features EPC A+ certification, a BREEAM Excellent rating and a solar roof installation designed to support lower-energy operations.
It also boasts more than 147,000 dynamic pick faces and variable storage locations, which CEVA said will support future growth and increasing customer demand.
CEVA said additional capacity can be created by installing further racking and converting block-stack floor space.
The warehouse launch will be delivered over a rapid timeline, with fewer than 20 weeks between contract award and operational commencement, requiring close collaboration across its business development, solution design, legal, project management and account management teams.
Mike Weaver, CEVA Logistics MD of contract logistics in the UK, said: “This new operation highlights CEVA’s ability to deliver large-scale, high-performance logistics solutions at speed.
“The Derby facility combines operational scale, sustainability and flexibility to support the evolving requirements of today’s e-commerce market.
“This new site will also further strengthen CEVA Logistics’ contract logistics network in the UK and reinforce the company’s expertise in delivering scalable e-commerce and retail supply chain solutions.”
