90 per cent of which would be full-time.

growth in online shopping. Parcels collected from
retailers and other businesses during the day would
be sorted overnight at Hub5. They would then be
sent to DPD’s network of regional depots for next-
day delivery.

track record of bringing forward           winning business park, creating 6,000 jobs locally.
                                           Birch Coppice was developed to the highest
