Why Manchester matters: Siobhan Bowie on the importance of the north to Ocado’s growth

How do you serve the Manchester area? Manchester is one of seven CFCs in the UK. Alongside that we have a number of spokes, which allow us to serve larger geographies. The Manchester spoke opened in 2009 and handles about 15,000-20,000 deliveries a week. Currently we reach around 75% of the UK. And demand in the north is one of our fastest-growing areas. We think a big part of that is that Ocado is the only retailer to sell M&S online, and there is a big love of M&S in the north.
