UK wholesaler VOW has confirmed that its new £3.5 million warehousing facility in Normanton is on track for the proposed mid-year launch.

The building will provide 250,000sqft (23,000m2) of warehousing space with over 8000 pallet locations and the capacity to increase to 16,000, 20,000 pick locations and 2km of conveyors, all managed by a new warehouse management system supplied by Manhattan. According to VOW, the new facility will provide customers in the North of England with improved stock depth, availability and flexibility of delivery options and stock holding.

Adrian Butler, Managing Director, commented: “NDC2 is an exciting project for VOW, and despite the challenging economic climate, it demonstrates our ongoing commitment to continual investment for our dealers and the launch of this facility will allow us to improve our efficiencies and continue our drive to offer the best possible logistics platform for our customers.”
