1,000-jobs bonanza at Co-op
by Dick Bellringer - 08/04/2011
"THE Co-operative Group has launched a major recruitment drive to find 1,000 staff for its new regional distribution centre in Andover.
"
The UK’s fifth largest food retailer needs 550 warehouse operatives, 300 drivers and around 150 admin and management staff at its multi-temperature depot based at Andover Commercial Park in Hampshire.
Around 50 staff are expected to transfer from the group’s distribution centre in Fareham to take up various positions in Andover, following the £28 million capital investment. The new positions will be filled between May and February 2012.
The 467,000sq ft regional distribution centre is due to launch in June this year, when it will distribute more than 1.3 million cases every week to more than 400 stores across southern England.
Logistics company Norbert Dentressangle has been awarded the contract to run transport operations at Andover, while warehouse operations will be operated in-house by The Co-operative Group.
Mark Leonard, The Co-operative Group’s regional head of logistics, said: “Andover is an excellent location to serve our stores in the south of England and we have launched a major recruitment drive to find the 1,000 staff required to operate the site.
“Our new regional distribution centre will not only provide major employment locally but will also help further boost the local economy for many years to come.
“This is a major investment and commitment to the local community and we would encourage as many people from the Andover area to apply.The Co-operative Group’s food business has significantly grown in recent years and our logistics operation has undergone a major overhaul to develop accordingly. This investment will help us to continue to provide high standards of service to our customers, while also allowing for growth.”
