Bleckmann, a logistics company specialising in fashion and lifestyle brands, has taken over the 1.1 million sq ft warehouse in Daventry previously operated by Boohoo. Once fully operational, the facility is expected to create up to 1,500 new jobs, as Bleckmann increases its UK presence by over one million sq ft, bringing its total UK logistics space to 3.2 million sq ft.
The warehouse, built initially for Arcadia Group in 2019 and acquired by Boohoo in 2021, was sublet to Bleckmann after being vacated in early 2023. The facility is well-equipped with key features such as 68 dock doors, 88 HGV spaces, and 40,294 sq ft of office space. It also benefits from automation systems, including an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) shuttle system, designed to improve operational efficiency.
This move is part of Bleckmann’s ongoing UK expansion, which now includes managing logistics for over 60 brands across eight locations. With this new lease, the company aims to support its continued regional growth.
