Tesco And Stobart Partnership To Create 750 Jobs

Supermarket retailer and employer Tesco has announced it is working in partnership with logistics firm Stobart to set up a new distribution centre in Widnes.

The distribution deal will help to create up to 750 new jobs in the area, with Tesco having signed a lease on a 500,000 sq ft chilled distribution facility at Stobart's inland port next to the River Mersey.

It offers great transport links including proximity to the M6, M62 and M56 motorways, as well as being situated near the West Coast Main Line.

Juliette Bishop, Tesco's corporate affairs manager, said: "This new, modern facility will allow us to greatly enhance the service to our stores and customers across the north-west of England."
