Jarrolds Logistics, part of the APC delivery network, has opened a new 2,787m2 depot in Norwich in the UK, which will support the company’s growing business in next-day parcel delivery, warehousing and fulfillment services.

The new site increases the company’s operational capacity by over 35% and brings Jarrolds’ services under one roof to enable greater efficiency.

According to the company, the expansion is a response to sustained business growth driven by increasing demand from SMEs and large businesses across the region.

Mary Wisbey, managing director of Jarrolds Logistics and Jarrolds Facilities Management, commented, “This move represents a significant strategic advancement, enabling us to operate more efficiently, reduce mileage that minimizes our environmental impact and creates local employment, all while enhancing the quality of service we deliver to our clients and customers.

“Since joining APC [in 2023], we’ve been committed to developing a logistics operation that stays true to our local heritage. The launch of our new Norwich depot is a major milestone in that journey. With its central location, added capacity and increased flexibility, the depot empowers us to better support local businesses across the region.”

The Norwich site employs a 30-strong local team, including 20+ drivers and dedicated operations and customer service teams. As demand grows, Jarrolds Logistics said it plans to expand the team to support new service offerings, such as warehousing and fulfillment for e-commerce clients.
