Matthew Clark Wholesale to move distribution facility to purpose-built site


Matthew Clark Wholesale is to relocate its Yorkshire-based drinks distribution operation and 90 jobs to a 63,000 sq ft purpose-built warehouse in Wetherby next summer.

The new distribution warehouse is to be built at Thorp Arch Estate with work set to start in January, and completion planned for early summer 2016.

Matthew Clark Wholesale, which distributes alcoholic and soft drinks to thousands of pubs, hotels, clubs and restaurants throughout the North, is to move its Yorkshire operation from Derwent Valley Industrial Estate, Dunnington, near York, where it has been based for more than 15 years, transferring 90 jobs.

The new distribution warehouse will feature nine dock levellers, two level-entry goods access doors, a large goods yard and 6,350 sq ft of office space.

The company, which has its national headquarters in Bristol, has more than 200 years’ experience of supplying drinks, hospitality training, labour management and marketing support to more than 16,000 premises in the UK.
