H&M is set to create around 800 new jobs when it launches its brand new distribution centre in Milton Keynes.

The new centre will span over 73,000 square metres and will be H&M’s first omnichannel distribution centre.  It will be the main centre for both UK and Ireland and will also process online customer orders.

Toni Galli, country manager for H&M UK & IE said: “We’re very much looking forward to opening a new logistics centre in Milton Keynes. Our customers are increasingly choosing to shop with us in an omnichannel way, so we see this facility as a really important way for us to integrate our online and store operations so that we can meet our customer’s changing needs more effectively.”
