Over the last few years, we have seen an outstanding growth in customer demand for our core services outpacing the market. As a result of this PHOENIX UK have invested over £13 million to build a new state-of-the-art distribution hub in Wakefield to support our dispensing doctor customers with improved access to medicines and OTC products.
The 260,000 sq. ft. facility will be highly energy efficient, including the use of Solar PV on its roof in line with our sustainability commitments.
Wakefield is a prime example of how we are committed to investing in the future by expanding our UK-wide operational capabilities to offer all our customers across the country the best possible service they need, want and deserve. This follows our investment a few years ago in a new, much larger depot in Belfast to meet growing demand in Northern Ireland. This is in addition to introducing market-leading new service solutions such as Golden Tote and Hey Pharmacist.
