To support its ongoing commitment to being the specialist pet wholesaler of choice and to build capacity to sustain long-term future growth, Pedigree Wholesale has invested in a new distribution centre located in Yate, Gloucestershire.  

Pedigree Wholesale, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, successfully opened the new site on the 30th of May, transferring its current facilities in Yate to the new location on the same business park. At 51,210 square feet (4,758 Square Metres) it is their largest distribution centre to date.

Over the coming months, Pedigree Wholesale will increase the ranges and product count carried at the new site, and when it is fully stocked and running at capacity, it will create circa 40 new roles to assist the existing team, all of whom have moved over to the new site.

This new site will service the South and West specialist pet and aquatic customers.

Wayne Kinton, Head of Operations, Pedigree Wholesale, said: “This new and exciting expansion strengthens our ability to service our valued customer base better. It also allows us to grow and welcome new customers to our business.”

Gerard O’Mahony, Managing Director, Pedigree Wholesale, said: “Our distribution centres are core to the operational backbone of our business and strengthening this is a key part of our strategy in 2022. We’ve committed to building more capacity into our infrastructure to meet the needs and demands of our customers over the next three years and beyond.”
