DHL eCommerce is continuing its UK investments with the opening of a new site in Newcastle, designed to boost capacity to meet customer demand across North-East England.
The development follows the recent opening of DHL’s Coventry hub, with both forming part of DHL eCommerce UK’s £482m investment into its UK infrastructure.
Emissions reductions
The 55,000 sq.ft site will handle up to 15,000 parcels each day. It has been designed to align with DHL’s Go Green strategy which has been set to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Features include heating and lighting sensors to reduce energy usage, while the addition of ten EV charging points will also support efforts to reduce carbon emissions from deliveries.
Solidifying DHL’s commitment to its workforce, the Newcastle site has been developed close to a previous facility, ensuring job stability for employees to transfer to the new location. The new space offers enhanced facilities to support employee wellbeing, including break-out areas. There will also be further local employment opportunities over time.
