John Lewis has launched a recruitment drive for 60 jobs at the retailer’s third distribution centre to open at Magna Park in Milton Keynes.
e-retail figures for the end of 2015 in the post Black Friday peak were the largest seen. “I’m excited to expand our warehouse team here at Magna Park 3,” said Terry Murphy, director of national distribution centres at John Lewis. “Our third national distribution centre in Milton Keynes is absolutely crucial to ensure a seamless omni-channel experience for our customers, and we’re looking to recruit driven individuals who can manage this process.” This is the third national distribution centre that John Lewis has opened in Milton Keynes – Magna Park 1 opened in 2009 and Magna Park 2 opened in 2016.
