The development will be completed in July this year and is being constructed on a 3.82 acre site at Ashdown Business Park.

Once complete, the distribution hub will create 60 new jobs and will service John Lewis department stores in Kingston and Bluewater, and John Lewis ‘at homes’ in Croydon, Chichester, Tunbridge Wells and Horsham.
