Fast fashion giant drops UK warehouse requirement

By Liza Helps Property Editor Logistics Matters

JOINT AGENTS JLL and Savills were purportedly advising on the requirement which saw Shein  draw up a shortlist of up and built warehouses between 300 – 400,000 ft2 in the Golden Triangle across locations including Derby, Daventry, Coventry, and Castle Donington as reported by Logistcs Matters in September last year  https://www.logisticsmatters.co.uk/Fashion-giant-seeks-UK-warehouses

The requirements is now believed to be on hold and may have been dropped altogether. At present Chinese 3PL Super Smart Service currently handles UK orders from a warehouse in Cannock in the Midlands.

Shein is owned by US-born Chinese entrepreneur Chris Xu, who set up the company in Nanjing in 2008. In 2023 Shein bought UK fashion company Missguided.
