PJH invests to bring next day delivery to more retailers

PJH has invested in three new regional distribution centres in a bid to expand its next day delivery service to more retailers. The service now covers up to 91% of UK postcodes.

The additional distribution centres in Enfield, Thirsk, and Bristol give 22,000 sq. ft, 3,000 sq. ft and 27,000 sq. ft. more warehouse space respectively. Plus, Thirsk will increase capacity by an extra 10,000 sq ft by the end of the year.

With these new sites, PJH said it will be able to better manage bigger volumes, improve vehicle departures and help reduce the number of miles travelled by the company with local fleets.

Brett Jenkinson, head of retail customer experience, PJH said: “The investment in these three new sites will support further growth in distribution as well as facilitate the expansion of PJH’s Next Day delivery service, for in-stock items, to 91% coverage of UK postcodes.

“Through the expanded capacity of our warehouses and our more regionally deployed own fleet of vehicles, benefitting northern, southern and Wales regions, we will be able to reach our customers faster.”

The brand says the expansion will also reduce the number of deliveries out of its Cannock central hub, which will relieve site congestion and improve efficiency. PJH has three other regional locations in Bolton, Worcester and Glasgow.
