Marking a major investment in growth, this month Apparel Brands announces its new flagship distribution centre on the outskirts of Manchester, UK, a decision that will strengthen our ability to service retail and wholesale partners across the UK and beyond.
Over the past weeks, we have transformed 77,000 sq ft of warehouse space to create a modern, efficient, and scalable distribution centre that consolidates three of our existing bulk warehouse sites into one central hub. This strategic investment gives us capacity for an initial 7,500 pallets, significantly improving our speed, accuracy, and operational efficiency.
Bringing the new facility online was a carefully planned effort, completed over a six-week period. During this time, the team worked tirelessly to ensure the space was fully fit for purpose: structurally, operationally, and technologically. This project has been a collaborative effort across both our Warehouse and Head Office teams, whose expertise and dedication made the smooth transition possible.
This new distribution centre becomes our primary hub for B2B wholesale operations. From Spring/Summer 2026 onward, we will consolidate further elements of our logistics and fulfilment into this site, enabling a more unified and agile supply chain.
This centralisation brings benefits in faster, more efficient fulfilment which accelerates delivery into our customers. The new pallet capacity gives us room to support growth in existing brands and our growing portfolio, and respond quickly to seasonal demand.
The opening of this new warehouse marks an exciting new chapter for Apparel Brands. It reflects our commitment to continuous improvement, customer service, and strategic growth. With a robust, centralised distribution centre now in place, we are better equipped than ever to support our partners.
