Ocado silent on reports that Manchester warehouse project scrapped | Logistics Manager
Ocado has refused to comment on reports that its has put plans to move into a new 350,000 sq ft warehouse in the Manchester area on hold.
www.logisticsmanager.comI don’t have live updates right now. Here’s what I can tell you based on recent publicly available coverage up to my last update:
- Ocado has historically operated and expanded its logistics footprint in the North of England, including Manchester, as part of its strategy to service online grocery demand and its Ocado Smart Platform partners. For example, there were reports in the mid-2010s about Manchester-area warehouse plans and later coverage on Ocado’s activities in the North, though specific current project status can change over time. These items illustrate Ocado’s long-standing interest in Manchester-area logistics.[1][4]
If you’d like, I can try to pull the latest Manchester-specific Ocado developments from current sources. Tell me whether you want:
- a quick news snapshot (today’s or this week’s headlines),
- a deeper briefing with key milestones, or
- a focused search on any particular Ocado Manchester project (e.g., a depot, partnership, or automation rollout).
Note: I can also summarize what Ocado has announced recently in its own news hub regarding North England expansions or partnerships if you want a company-verified perspective.
