B&Q has appointed GXO Logistics to handle its newly acquired distribution hub in Wellingborough.
GXO won the contract to run the site, enabling B&Q to bring its bathrooms category sourcing inhouse from the second half of next year.
The move also allows B&Q to integrate customer order management within its existing resource and shift the category’s warehousing to the new distribution hub.
B&Q supply and logistics director Amelie Gallichan-Todd said:
“With a focus on improving customer experience, we are evolving our business at pace and regaining market share.
“We have reimagined our operations-seamlessly integrating our stores, apps, and online platforms – to provide home improvers with greater choice, faster service, and enhanced convenience.
“Changing how we manage our bathrooms fulfilment service during the second half of 2026 will be another step forward in our evolution.
“It will help us to simplify processes, to manage costs responsibly – leveraging our inhouse sourcing, logistics and merchandising expertise, and to prioritise investment in meeting changing customer needs.
“Our new distribution site is well located and suited for the distribution needs of our bathrooms category, and I’m pleased to announce that we’ve selected GXO Logistics to manage this new site, following a competitive tender.”
