A NASDAQ-listed ecommerce order fulfillment provider has agreed a lease for a new fulfillment centre in Fareham.
PFS, the business unit of PFSweb, said the move is in response to growing demand for its services in the UK.
Clients in PFS’ existing Southampton hub have also experienced strong organic growth and outgrew their existing capacity during the last two years.
The 70,000 sq ft Fareham facility will provide additional support for those existing clients, as well as creating space for new clients.
Located near Southampton Airport and both the ports of Southampton and Portsmouth, the Fareham base is well placed for transportation and shipping options.
The proximity of the two facilities allows PFS leadership to oversee both centres more easily, as well as providing cross-training opportunities for employees to serve multiple clients.
The first client in the Fareham facility is scheduled to go live in the second quarter of 2023.
“Expanding our footprint in the UK is key to our long-term growth strategy and will meet the needs of our strong sales pipeline in the region,” said Zach Thomann, chief operating officer and PFS president.
“More clients and prospects are desiring a multi-node order fulfillment strategy complemented by a brand-centric solution in each geography. We plan to design the new facility in Fareham specifically for health and beauty brands, while also implementing new sustainability initiatives.”
