GXO Logistics has extended its long running partnership with B&Q after winning the contract to handle the retailer’s newly acquired distribution hub in Wellingborough.
The deal sees B&Q end a 30-year logistics tie-up with PJH Group, and is part of a major overhaul of B&Q’s logistics network.
Under the contract, GXO will run the entire site, which spans 375,000sq ft at Park Farm in Wellingborough, enabling B&Q to bring its bathrooms category sourcing in-house from the second half of next year.
The move also allows B&Q to integrate customer order management within its existing resource and shift the category’s warehousing to the new distribution hub.
B&Q supply and logistics director Amelie Gallichan-Todd said: “With a focus on improving customer experience, we are evolving our business at pace and regaining market share.
“We have reimagined our operations – seamlessly integrating our stores, apps, and online platforms – to provide home improvers with greater choice, faster service, and enhanced convenience.
“Changing how we manage our bathrooms fulfilment service during the second half of 2026 will be another step forward in our evolution.
“It will help us to simplify processes, to manage costs responsibly – leveraging our inhouse sourcing, logistics and merchandising expertise, and to prioritise investment in meeting changing customer needs.
“Our new distribution site is well located and suited for the distribution needs of our bathrooms category, and I’m pleased to announce that we’ve selected GXO Logistics to manage this new site, following a competitive tender.”
B&Q said it will continue to work with PjH Group as a supplier.
GXO has managed B&Q’s retail transport network since 2015, including national and regional distribution centres, Store to Home final mile services, returns processing, and a flagship seasonal warehouse.
