ASOS has renewed its logistics contract with GXO for nine years, extending a partnership that began in 2013 until 2034.
GXO announced the renewal on 11 November. It covers warehouse fulfilment and transportation services at the highly automated logistics hub in Barnsley that GXO runs for ASOS, which serves more than 16 million ASOS customers a year. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The Barnsley operation
- GXO has run the site for ASOS for 13 years.
- Working changes introduced over the past five years allowed ASOS to extend its customer order cut-off to 11pm.
- Barnsley Council said ASOS and GXO together support more than 3,200 jobs in the area.
Russell Atkinson, managing director of fashion at GXO UK&I, said the two companies had combined staff expertise with technology and automation to adapt to changing customer expectations and support ASOS’s growth.
Jonny O’Hara, logistics director at ASOS, said its aim of being “The Stylist” for customers depends on strong, flexible and reliable operations, and that the renewal would support the retailer’s growth.
