Discount supermarket chain ASDA plans to double the workforce at its biggest warehouse in the UK.

According to Doncaster Free Press, up to 450 new jobs - including positions for stock pickers, reach truck drivers, forklift operators and warehouse operation managers - will be created at the Wincanton-run warehouse at Redhouse Business Park in Woodlands.

Doncaster Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise CEO Stephen Shore says Doncaster is the perfect location for a major logistics centre.

"The decision of Wincanton also means other businesses that provide ancillary services to the logistics sector will develop and grow with the Woodlands distribution centre," he says.

The Redhouse distribution centre currently employs 480 people and was officially opened last July. It handles 600 loads a week destined for ASDA's 11 regional distribution centres.
