Online grocer Ocado has announced plans to shut its oldest distribution centre as it shifts towards robotic warehouses, in a move that will affect around 2,300 workers.
The group said it will close the site in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, which accounts for about a fifth of its customer orders each week, later this year.
The orders will instead be shifted to a new state-of-the-art automated warehouse in Luton, which is due to open last in 2023.
