Work on the second phase of a £4 million investment into a 65,000 sq ft warehouse in the Black Country has started.
The Guardian Warehouse logistics and storage facility in Willenhall is due to be completed in May and will increase the existing site to 280,000 sq ft with space for 34,000 pallets.
The project will initially create 40 new jobs at the site which can be used for warehouse storage, goods reception via containers, trailers, packaging and order processing.
Guardian Warehouse counts household names such as Pets at Home, Vimto, TK Maxx and Aldo shoes among its clients.
Lee Bushell, chief executive of Bushell Group which owns Guardian Warehouse, said: "Storage and logistics is a core part of our group and we are pleased to continue to invest in the development of our Willenhall logistics centre, bringing jobs and business to Black Country."
Guardian Warehouse managing director Glyn Byrne added: "There is strong demand for e-commerce services, warehouse storage and related logistics at this time.
"I am delighted to start phase two of our development plan to grow the site which will increase our storage and e-commerce capability significantly in the heart of the Black Country."
