The company had announced in 2015 its intentions to consolidate its warehousing and distribution operations in Grantham and Frating with the closure of its site in Rugby. The Frating site currently employs 600 staff, and some minor building work, including the creation of extra parking spaces will be carried out to house the new employees. The new jobs will be added to various departments at the centre throughout 2017.
