Tesco is planning a £1 billion, fully automated fulfilment centre near Europe’s fastest-growing deep-sea port—and it’s more than just a warehouse. Set to launch in 2029, this state-of-the-art facility promises to be a game-changer for brands looking to sell on the Tesco Marketplace.

What Makes It Special?

• Direct connection to port: Products will go straight from container to shelf-ready storage.
• 600,000 cases per day: Powered by Witron automation, operating 24/7.
• Sustainable by design: Fully electric handling, rail-first freight, and BREEAM Outstanding accreditation.
• Carbon footprint tracking: Sellers will receive detailed emissions reports tied to their activity.

Why This Matters for Marketplace Sellers

This announcement signals a huge opportunity for growing e-commerce brands. When the centre launches in 2029, you’ll be able to list on Tesco Marketplace and have your products shipped from Tesco’s own cutting-edge infrastructure—with the speed, visibility, and trust Tesco’s customers expect.

And to make that opportunity fully accessible? That’s where ChannelUnity comes in.
