Leicestershire logistics firm to create 100 jobs

A Lutterworth-based logistics firm has acquired a new warehouse at Magna Park, and is set to create 100 jobs.

Core Management Logistics (CML) has taken out a long-term lease on the 104,000 sq ft warehouse on Wellington Parkway, its third facility at Magna Park. The site became operational last month.

CML3, as the warehouse will be known, will first be used to handle increased stock requirements for major retail clients over the Christmas period and beyond including Marks & Spencer.

In addition to providing additional storage capacity for the warehouse, CML’s freight, sales and marketing teams and some of its operations team will also relocate to offices at the new site in January.

CML’s managing director, Mark Webb said: “This is an exciting step forward for the business, which allows us to expand on the high quality service we offer to our growing client base.

“We are delighted to be providing 100 new jobs in Lutterworth and expanding our presence within Magna Park, which is one of the logistics industry’s major UK hubs.

“Lutterworth’s location in the centre of the country, in the ‘Golden Triangle’ between the M1, M6 and M69, is ideal for businesses like ours. It is also within easy reach of East Midlands Airport which is now the UK’s busiest pure cargo airport. We’re very positive about the direction and expansion of our business.”
