The larger location in Thurrock should see the creation of more than 50 jobs, which will establish Thurrock as another flagship location for Tigers within Europe.
“Tigers is committed to investment in the UK, and the opening of the new Thurrock facility is perfectly timed as we welcome new clients on board for both B2B and B2C global e-fulfilment,” explained Shahar Ayash, Managing Director UK and Europe, Tigers.
“This is a multi-million pound investment by Tigers in the UK, despite Brexit, and not only will it create new jobs, it will also secure our future as a leader in the logistics and supply chain industry, as e-commerce demand continues to grow.”
The new facility is conveniently located off the M25, with proximity to the Port of Felixstowe, central London, and all main road routes to the Midlands, Wales, northern England and Scotland.
