Food Tracer > UK Distribution Centres > Waitrose
The Tracing Paper’s distribution centre resources list supermarket depots across the UK. Types of depot include national distribution centres, regional distribution centres (RDCs), primary consolidation centres (PCCs), food hubs and other warehouses. Further details are provided, where available, of the depots’ location, size, product categories, numbers of staff etc. This is an incomplete but growing listing: sources of information on RDCs are patchy and fragmented.
Further information on every listed depot: The Tracing Paper’s custom food industry search provides links to further information and news on each depot, from selected authoritative websites.
