Lidl is expanding its UK logistics network with two major warehouse projects, collectively valued at £435 million. The retailer has completed a £285 million expansion at its Belvedere site in London, tripling capacity and enabling the facility to supply around 120 stores. Concurrently, construction has started on a new £150 million warehouse in Leeds.
The developments are expected to generate more than 500 jobs across both locations, with around 120 positions in London and 400 in Leeds. Lidl currently operates over 980 stores and 14 distribution centres across England, Scotland, and Wales, alongside a broader European network.
The chain ranks as the sixth largest grocery retailer in the UK and continues to narrow the gap with Morrisons, according to Kantar data. The expansion underlines Lidl’s focus on strengthening supply chains and scaling its distribution capabilities to meet growing demand in the UK market.
