UK: Iceland Foods to open warehouse in Warrington

Frozen food supermarket giant Iceland Foods has inaugurated a 500,000 sq ft warehouse in Warrington, UK, via a £100 million investment.

The distribution hub is described as the company’s largest in the UK, with sections dedicated to ambient food, chilled products and frozen foods and a workforce of 750.

The Warrington depot will deliver to more than 350 of Iceland’s stores, serving the North, the north Midlands, and North Wales in particular, although it is equipped to supply as many as 500 stores.

Iceland has almost 1,000 stores across the UK, including 190 Food Warehouse out-of-town superstores.

“We’re always looking at ways to make our business stronger, more efficient, and better for our customers”, said Iceland Foods CEO Tarsem Dhaliwal. “Investing in our supply chain is a huge part of that, and this new, state-of-the-art warehouse is a game-changer” .
