Alliance Healthcare plans to close two distribution centres and downsize a third, placing up to 490 jobs at risk. The company intends to shut sites in Nottingham and Hinckley while cutting 110 roles at its South Normanton facility. Operations will be consolidated into a new logistics hub in Birmingham, set to open in 2026.
The restructuring is part of an effort to modernise distribution, as some existing sites are considered outdated and costly to upgrade. The Usdaw trade union, representing workers at the Nottingham site, has confirmed consultations will begin soon to assess the impact and challenge the business case.
