New facility at Colchester
The Woodland Group’s warehouse and fulfilment business, founded in Great Britain in 2010, has opened a new 14,000 sqm facility in Marks Tey, Colchester. The warehouse has been designed to expand capacity by 5,000 pallets and has over 4,000 pick faces dedicated to e-commerce.
Since the Marks Tey location opened its doors to clients at the beginning of August, Woodland Group has onboarded new customers and brands that will all be operational for the 2021 peak trading period.
Marks Tey is its first location to run, amongst others, solar panels to power the facility using renewable energy. Woodland Group has invested in a full redesign of its warehouse management system in partnership with TM Ware to deliver a paperless, integrated solution that works with all the major shopping carts and retailers allowing for peak order picking in excess of 180,000 B2C orders per month.
