Ocado will cease operations at its Hatfield customer fulfillment center later this year, putting 2,300 jobs at risk.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The online grocer, which runs the site in a joint venture with Marks & Spencer, is hoping to move as many staff as possible to other centres, including its new Luton site.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This comes as retailers increasingly move to more productive robotic checkout centers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ocado said it doesn’t expect the volume of orders being filled to be affected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The company says its Hatfield location – which was its first fulfillment center – handles around a fifth of the 400,000 orders it processes per week. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These will now be moved to “highly productive, next-generation facilities” across the UK, including the Luton site which is due to open later this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ocado said its latest generation of automated fulfillment centers has “consistently achieved well over 200 units picked per hour worked,” compared to around 150 at the first-generation Hatfield site. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The newer locations also use less energy and have better capacity for same-day deliveries, she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Boss Tim Steiner said now is the right time to close operations at Hatfield and consider “future options for the site.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He said a consultation for affected employees has started but the company expects to keep “a large proportion of colleagues”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
