Further information about the new Worcester fulfilment centre

The new facilities at Worcester Six Business Park are one of the UK's first net-zero carbon warehouses. It achieves this through the building materials used in its construction and the way it is operated. The site features solar panels which provide all of the site's electricity needs including 125kW of electric vehicle charging infrastructure with 32 charge points for electric cars and forklifts, a rainwater harvesting system to provide recycled water for use in the toilets and to wash delivery trucks, and lower energy consuming lighting and heating to ensure the warehouse does not use more energy than it creates.
