In a statement, the company said: “The new distribution centre will support the group’s strategic expansion and will enable consolidation of a number of the group’s existing sites, although some existing facilities will be retained to enable further adjacent category expansion.
“The group will invest in fitting out the new distribution centre through the current and next financial year.
“This strategic investment will provide the group with further operational capacity to support its growth, further strengthening its market leading position.”
Founder and chief executive Mark Radcliffe said: “This new facility represents another exciting milestone for the business, providing us with capacity to manage growth in the long-term while further establishing Victorian Plumbing’s position as the No. 1 bathroom retailer in the UK.
“I am also delighted that this new facility will create additional jobs and further support our investment in the local area.”
