Asos to close Staffordshire warehouse after cost-cutting drive

Asos is to close its Midlands warehouse just two years after opening as it looks to cut costs in its hunt to improve profitability.
The online retail giant said it would shutter its fulfilment centre in Lichfield, Staffordshire, despite having invested £90m to fully automate the site.
The warehouse has more than 700 employees, however they do not directly work for the fashion retailer.Subscribe to Retail Gazette for free
