The second warehouse will be over 12,000 square meters and is neighboring to the Whistle Depot, which opened last fall in Moulton Park, Northampton. However, by the end of the year, the building was up and running quickly.

The third and final new fulfillment center will be 3,200 square meters and will be dedicated to Clientbase Fulfillment, a company that Whistl acquired last year.

Whistl currently has 11 fulfillment centers in the UK? with over 130,000 square meters of pick and return warehouse space.
