Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has announced plans to open two new logistics hubs close to its existing Kingsbury/Atherstone and Marston Gate sites.
FedEx reports that this move consolidates its existing road hub infrastructure from five hubs into two brand new facilities, incorporating advanced technologies to enhance service for customer.
The new hubs, anticipated to be operational by 2029, will each be able to sort 32,000 packs per hour, and process different types of deliveries for customers, including international freight and ecommerce shipments.
FedEx has operated in the UK since 1984 and provides a range of transportation services for businesses trading internationally and domestically.
In addition to its road network, FedEx has operations at three air hubs across the UK.
The parcel delivery company reports that while there are no changes for FedEx employees in the short term, the multi-year project will affect working locations for some team members across its hubs.
FedEx vice president of operations Rob Peto said: “We are excited about plans to renew our hub infrastructure in the UK and commit in the creation of two new delivery hubs.
“This is a substantial commitment into the UK and will mean we’re well positioned for future growth with a dynamic, flexible and efficient end-to-end network.
“It will also present exciting opportunities for our team members over the long term and further enhance the service we deliver to our customers.”
