Foodservice wholesaler Bidfood is set to open the doors to two new depots in 2023 as part of a wider plan to strengthen its current 24-strong depot network.
The first of the new sites will be based in Glasgow, covering the West of Scotland, and is set to open in early spring. The 90,000 sq. ft site will open as part of Bidfood Scotland’s initiative to expand the business’s local depot network to meet the increasing demand from both existing and new customers.
Aiming to commence trading in autumn 2023, Bidfood will also be opening a site in Bedfordshire in order to strengthen its service across the South East of England, and will become one of the company’s largest sites to date, at 160,000 sq. ft.
Mark Wood, Chief Operating Officer at Bidfood said: “This is a really exciting time for the business, as we continue to grow our infrastructure to strengthen our support for customers.
“Both sites will enable us to operate from a high quality and modern facility which will alleviate pressure on existing depots in Scotland and the South East, as well as serve the communities in which they operate by providing jobs to local people.”
A third additional depot in the Midlands has also been commissioned. However, this will not be operational until 2024.
