Partnership
Clipper Logistics plc ("Clipper", "the Group" or "the
"Company"), a leading provider of value-added logistics solutions
and e-fulfilment to the retail sector, is pleased to announce that
it has signed a new 10 year contract with The John Lewis
Partnership to provide a range of retail support services from a
new distribution centre at Grange Park, Northampton. This
announcement follows the initial announcement made by the Company
in March last year.
The new distribution centre, acquired by Clipper earlier this
year specifically for John Lewis, will provide in excess of 500,000
square feet of capacity. Initial activity commenced in July 2016
and will support John Lewis' new distribution centre in Magna Park,
Milton Keynes.
The site will not only be the National Returns Centre for John
Lewis managing all e-fulfilment and store returns, but will also
provide pre retailing services for John Lewis and a number of other
ancillary service activities to support the John Lewis
operations.
Steve Parkin, Executive Chairman said:
"Clipper has had a long and close relationship with John Lewis
which continues to develop on a number of fronts. We are delighted
to be partnering with them once more and to have finalised this
long term contract to enable us to continue to support their
