The German logistics firm is spending more than £190million on the new collection and delivery hubs.

One of them, at SEGRO Park Coventry Gateway, south of the West Midlands city’s airport, can hold up to 500,000 items a day.

It will create more than 600 jobs in administration and manufacturing. It is part of a £482million plan to expand its e-commerce operation, DHL Parcel UK.
