Invitational event
XPO receives award from the UK Warehousing Association (UKWA)
As part of this year’s campaign to celebrate 80 years of warehousing, the UK Warehousing
Association (UKWA) will visit 80 warehouses. The visit to our XPO Logistics site in Milton
Keynes was Nr. 28 (out of 80). Overall, UKWA CEO Clare Bottle will visit 80 warehouses
around the UK to showcase this critical—and often underappreciated—sector. Two more
visits to XPO sites are planned for this year.
Lynn Brown, vice president of human resources – UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, said: “Our
warehouse in Milton Keynes is positively impacting the UK economy. We recently created
104 jobs in this facility, including warehouse operatives, HGV drivers and transport
operations, supplier workers, security guards, and cleaners. Our company also supports the
local charities Macmillan Cancer Support and Willen Hospice and, nationally, the Over the
Wall charity.”
Lynn Brown, vice president, human resources – UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, also said: “We
are committed to being a positive contributor to our local community. XPO Logistics has
worked with the local authorities to examine colleagues’ travel-to-work schemes to help
reduce CO2e, rain harvesting installations to minimise water consumption, beehives to
support the surrounding environment, and the "Red-Runners" using our site as a base for
some of their local events.”
