Manchester-based Housing Units, has completed the £1.8m extension of its distribution centre, increasing the building’s storage capacity by 43,000 sq. ft. to 100,000 sq. ft.
The extended premises will cater to significant growth in the store’s retail and online sales, improving lead times between order and delivery. Customers can expect a more efficient shopping experience both in store and online as a result of the expansion.

Nick Fox, CEO at Housing Units, said: “It’s brilliant to see the extended distribution centre up and running, improving the service we offer.
