ASOS has formally opened its new state-of-the-art fulfilment centre in Lichfield, Staffordshire. 

The facility at Fradley Park, which will employ 2,000 people over the next three years, is being managed by GXO, and has already recruited more than 700 people.

ASOS will invest a total of £90m in the new 437k sq. ft. fulfilment centre and will use it to serve customers in the UK and over 150 countries around the world. 

ASOS expects to ship over 30 million units in the site’s first year, and up to 4.5m units per week once the site is fully operational and automation is complete. 

Mat Dunn, Chief Operating Officer at ASOS, said: “We are thrilled to be celebrating the opening of our brand-new warehouse in Lichfield, which will support our ambitious international growth plans and bring a significant number of jobs to the area. 

“Our choice of Lichfield reflects the skills and talent it has to offer and we’re looking forward to becoming part of the local community in the years ahead.”
