Woodland Group opens second distribution hub

Woodland Group has opened its second distribution facility at iPort in Doncaster, in response to significant growth.

The 130,458 sq ft location was secured on a 10-year lease and is now fully operational with six clients under contract.

The move follows the opening of a 195,000 sq ft fulfilment and distribution warehouse at iPort in February last year.

The company said the multimodal freight terminal, iPort Rail, has enabled it to develop carbon-conscious solutions across its supply chains and it has even launched a dedicate rail service through iPort Rail for onsite clients.

Luke Fermor, Woodland Group global head of fulfilment, said: “The Woodland fulfilment business is seeing large growth with strategic clients who trust us with their complete end to end supply chain solutions.

“This new dedicated e-commerce facility gives us the ability to store over 15,000 pallets and 12,000 pick locations all being managed by our state-of-the-art, in-house built WMS.”
