FedEx to revamp UK network

[ May 9, 2025   //   ]

Federal Express has announced major improvements to its UK network, including plans to open two logistics hubs close to its existing Kingsbury / Atherstone and Marston Gate sites.

It will consolidate its existing road hub infrastructure from five hubs into two new facilities, with advanced technologies to enhance service and support future growth.

The new hubs, anticipated to be operational by 2029, will each be able to sort 32,000 packs per hour, and also process international freight and ecommerce shipments. The hubs will also provide a more comfortable working environment for team members.

Vice president of operations, Rob Peto, said: “This is a substantial commitment into the UK and will mean we’re well positioned for future growth with a dynamic, flexible and efficient end-to-end network. It will also present exciting opportunities for our team members over the long term and further enhance the service we deliver to our customers.’’

While there are no changes for FedEx employees in the short term, the multi-year project will affect working locations for some team members. FedEx says it is committed to working closely with union and team member representatives on the delivery of the project to ensure they are properly supported.
