Evri Group invest over £4 million to expand fulfilment network in Barnsley

Evri Group has announced the launch of a new 265,000 square foot fulfilment centre in Barnsley, following an investment of over £4 million into the site.

This new Barnsley opening marks the latest milestone in Evri’s rapidly expanding fulfilment operation, which has seen sustained double digit year on year growth since its launch in 2021.

Located less than 100 metres from the company’s existing Barnsley hub, the new facility will enable parcels to be injected directly into its largest operational site every hour, facilitating seamless integration into Evri’s national and international network to unlock faster delivery options for all retailers.

The site will officially launch in July 2026 and include cutting edge sorting and packing automation, allowing parcels to move from order stage to pick, pack and entrance to the delivery network within an hour.

A key feature of the new site is its 11.59 pm order cut off time for next day delivery – a significant extension that allows thousands of small and medium sized businesses to get their goods to their customers as fast as the nation’s biggest brands.

The facility also provides same day dispatch, seven days a week, as well as support for Amazon Prime distribution and global scaling capabilities for bedroom CEOs looking to grow internationally.

The announcement follows the success of Evri’s first fulfilment centre in Basildon, as well as additional sites on the US East Coast, the Netherlands and Oman, cementing its position as a global fulfilment solution for retailers of all sizes.

Over 150 new job roles will be created as a direct result of the new Barnsley facility.

David Saenz, chief commercial officer at Evri Group, said: ‘The launch of this purpose built fulfilment facility, designed to meet the needs of the shopper of today and tomorrow, will bring exciting opportunities to some of the UK’s most loved brands as well as our country’s deep reservoir of small and medium sized companies.

‘We have paired cutting edge fulfilment technology with a direct connection to the Evri Group’s well established and fast growing domestic and international networks, meaning whatever the business need, we have a solution.’
