John Lewis is to open a 1m sq ft warehouse in Milton Keynes that will employ 500 people as it tries to meet surging demand for online shopping.
The new facility at Fenny Lock, which it has leased from Tesco for 11 years, will be John Lewis’s second biggest distribution centre after nearby Magna Park.
