It was brilliant to visit Ocado Group’s fulfilment centre in Bicester with Rupert Harrison recently.
We met Chief Reputation Officer David Shriver and Senior Operations Manager Nigel Morrison onsite who showed us both around their cutting-edge warehouse. Ocado use some of the most advanced technology available including a robot-on-grid design which simplifies and streamlines their operation. With over 50,000 items available for selection, it is essential that the right systems are in place to manage demand.
Ocado are a really important and responsible employer in Bicester, providing high quality jobs in retail, logistics and engineering to over 600 people locally. It was great to get the opportunity to see how the team have been getting on.
