Parcel giant Evri has moved into an 82,000 sq ft warehouse in Bridgend as it continues to expand.
The company has opened a new unit, developed by property developer Robert Hitchins, at Central Park on the Bridgend Industrial Estate, which is close to J35 of the M4.
In the last five years, Evri has tripled in size to become the UK's biggest dedicated parcel delivery company. It delivers more than 730 million parcels per year with a team of in excess of 20,000 couriers and close to 17,000 ParcelShops and Lockers.
The team, in the first 24 hours at it new base, processed 128,000 parcels.
Head of estates at Evri Edmond Leahy said: "Every parcel matters and that is why Evri is committed to continually improving its services by investing in its people, infrastructure and processes. We wanted to keep operating out of Bridgend, handling parcels, sortation and distribution, because it’s the perfect base to service South Wales.
"The move to the new premises went very smoothly and we’re delighted to secure our presence and look to future expansion in the area."
Knight Frank was the agent. Barnwood Construction was the construction company.
