Wednesday 13th August 2025
Gordons has advised online supermarket Ocado Retail on the letting of a new 66,000 sq ft distribution hub at Fairham Business Park, near Nottingham.
Ocado Retail has agreed to take a 15-year lease of the facility which is scheduled to open this autumn.
A team led by Gordons commercial property partner, Sarah Ratcliffe, advised Ocado Retail on securing the lease.
The distribution hub will operate 24/7 and employ in excess of 400 people including van drivers, marshallers, office staff and maintenance workers.
The site will serve the wider Nottingham area, addressing growing demand for online grocery deliveries. Ocado Retail plans to install fuel pumps, docking areas, CCTV and other infrastructure upgrades.
Founded in 2000, Ocado Retail reaches over 80 per cent of the UK population, and more than one million active customers benefit from a range of around 50,000 products.
Sarah Ratcliffe commented: “The new distribution centre will be an outstanding facility. We are very pleased to have helped with the distribution hub’s acquisition and look forward to seeing it become fully operational later this year.”
