With our Chippenham site, we knew it was going to be our biggest warehouse to date, so the need to appeal to local talent was more pertinent than ever. We were impressed by the range of wellbeing facilities on offer in the warehouse space, which we saw would make it easier to recruit the best people. We have amazingly rich local amenities\u2014from the park and fitness trail to outdoor seating areas where people can eat lunch together. We have been able to create hundreds of jobs since opening last year in a space where everyone genuinely enjoys coming to work.<\/p>\n\n <\/span>\n \n \n
