Fashion retailer Joe Browns plans to spend £2m in a warehouse upgrade designed to support both its growth ambitions and increase pick face efficiency even further.
Its existing warehouse, part of its head office building in Holbeck, Leeds, was extended in November 2020 at a cost of £1.5m. The further upgrade is because of continuing healthy sales growth and helping to futureproof the logistics element of the business.
Work starts on the warehouse upgrade, which handles the retailer’s home and fashion offer, in three weeks and will see it functional by Q3. The existing operation within will function throughout the works.
Darren Abbott, the company’s Finance Director, said: “We’ve already outgrown our earlier warehouse extension and this investment will ensure an even more efficient scan and pick capacity as we continue to grow.”
