Distribution is about getting the right stock, to the right place, at the right time. In a company the size of ours it’s no mean feat, but join our distribution operation and you’ll be helping to put the smiles on our customers’ faces all over the country.
John Lewis Distribution is separated into two main environments. These are our National Distribution Centres (NDCs) which are large operations that distribute to our whole business. Stock is received into the business from suppliers, held and then distributed either directly to our shops or to our smaller, Customer Delivery Hubs.
Our Customer Delivery Hubs (CDHs) are smaller operations that distribute locally to shops or directly into our customers’ homes. Stock is received from the NDCs which is then passed on locally.
The backbone to our distribution network is our warehouses. We have seven warehouses across the country, including our state-of-the-art semi-automated warehouse at the Magna Park Campus near Milton Keynes. This has recently expanded and now occupies over 1 million square feet. Here we deliver household, fashion and electronic goods to our customers, as well as our stores, sending out smaller items from our vast array of brands.
We are looking for people who want to become part of an amazing team of Partners. The roles offered include full and part time hours, working across 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There can be flexibility around working hours and pay will depend on experience and performance.
The roles offered can suit a wide range of skills, ability, experience and knowledge. Our range of goods in the different locations can be as small as a light bulb to as large as an American fridge freezer or as small as the first pair of baby trainers to the party dress for an opening night.
So if packing that party dress for an online customer or loading an American fridge freezer on the back of a trailer destined for one our stores is for you, discover more about roles in all of our John Lewis locations below.
Our larger National Distribution Centres are located in the Milton Keynes and Northampton area, conveniently located just off the M1 motorway. Within our Magna Park campus in Milton Keynes, we have MP1, 2 and 3 as well as our brand new warehouse, Fenny Lock.
Our smaller Customer Delivery Hubs are located in various places across the UK including; Cambridge, Reading, Bristol, Liverpool and more.
Help to promote, develop and deliver outstanding customer service as a crucial member of our warehouse team. Not only will you support all of our channels, you’ll become a brand ambassador for the Partnership and get involved in all of the key duties. These include receiving and storing products, picking individual branch orders, loading goods onto trailers and making sure the right products go to the right stores.
