Confectionery wholesaler Hancocks has acquired a 140,000 sq. ft. warehouse and distribution centre in Manton Wood, Worksop to support the growth of its online operation.
The company revealed that its online business has grown in excess of 200% this year, offering delivery and click & collect services to over 20,000 customers across the UK and Europe.
Steve Foster, Managing Director said: “Given the success of www.Hancocks.co.uk and our plans, we are investing in capability. In recent years we have upgraded our stores, invested in our web team and systems, and now distribution capability. This new site will allow us to significantly grow our services and product range to further support our customers”.
Hancocks also announced that its facility in Dunstable is to close due to it not having the physical space to support its growth plans. Affected staff will be offered the chance to relocate.
