TNT UK (Domestic) managing director Marianne Culver said:

The opening of Swindon and the improved service it allows us to deliver to customers is great news, not just for TNT, but most importantly for the tens of thousands of UK businesses we serve every single day.

Swindon is a flagship development and will set new standards of excellence in how we operate, the technology we use and how we utilise our strongest assets, our people.

101 doors to hub South West England, the Swindon depot will improve delivery services for businesses in the South West region. The facility was constructed with an investment of around £15.5m, and is expected to serve around 467,000 businesses. TNT's new 101-door facility will hold a capacity to carry around 1.5 million items per week and can process about 650 items per minute. According to the firm, the new facility has created 85 new jobs in managerial, warehouse and driving roles.
