KBB distributor PJH has invested in a distribution centre, in North Yorkshire, more than doubling the capacity of the site it replaces.
According to the company, its move to the larger Distribution Centre in Thirsk was prompted by PJH’s “rapid and continued” growth and provides 10,000sqft of space.
As well as much greater capacity, the Thirsk site benefits from nearby access onto the A168 dual carriageway, which in turn leads to the A19 and A1(M) to help service PJH customers in the Northeast.

Speaking about the new distribution site Richard George, CEO of PJH said: “The new Thirsk Distribution Centre is another significant investment for PJH and supports further the growth in our National Logistics infrastructure that provides Next Day deliveries for our customers.
“It increases our total number of Distribution Centres to seven and our overall warehouse footprint to 355,000 square feet.
“It is great news for our business and another demonstration of our commitment to being our Customers ‘First choice’.”
Investment in the regional distribution centre, with its improved logistics, capacity and stock holding, also lowers PJH’s carbon footprint through a more regionally deployed fleet and reduced delivery milage.
It also forms part of PJH’s continued investment programme in its distribution capabilities and growth, to meet changing customer demands and maintain its service levels.
PJH has recently introduced its Bathrooms to Love BOND initative to protect retailers from online pricing competition.
