Marks & Spencer Lichfield distribution centre opening
Friday 1st January, 2027
Marks & Spencer is opening a large 437,000 sq ft automated fulfilment centre in Lichfield, due to join its logistics network in 2027 and add capacity and jobs across the UK. This matters to Lego because it highlights growing investment in automated, high-capacity fulfilment for retail in the UK — giving you a chance to comment on supply‑chain resilience, fulfilment innovation and how logistics scale supports toy availability for families and collectors in the UK.
Why have we flagged this?
This is a credible PR angle: Lego can comment on supply‑chain resilience and fulfilment tech as it affects toy availability, and pitch planned content about logistics innovation or reactive expert comment as M&S develops the centre.
