MG Motor UK has announced that it is further strengthening its presence in Britain by launching a new warehousing and parts distribution centre.

The new 15,000 m² facility will initially employ 40 people but has further capacity to meet future demand for MG parts and services.

MG has partnered with XPO Logistics to operate the facility. With it, they aim to support more than 150 retailers and 340,000 owners of MG vehicles in the UK.

Guy Pigounakis, MG Motor UK’s commercial director, said: “We’ve been impressed by their warehousing and delivery technology solutions and the benefits these will bring to MG customers.

“For MG this is another significant step forward, the ongoing growth of the brand in our home market means there’s now more scope to create exciting, new opportunities here in the UK with partners like XPO Logistics.”

"Current and future MG customers will enjoy an even higher standard of service and experience. Our new site marks an important step forward—it will help us deliver to our dealer partners faster, make ordering simpler, and give us the capacity to grow with our customers’ needs.”

Pigounakis added that the new facility will also enable MG to introduce a range of initiatives at its historic Longbridge site, with a strong focus on skills development and training. A further announcement is scheduled for next spring.

Dan Myers, managing director at XPO Logistics said: “We have always been successful in the automotive aftermarket arena, and partnering with an iconic British brand like MG which is now firmly established as one of the UK’s best-selling manufacturers, is proof yet again that we are leading in this space.

“We’re excited to see what we can achieve together for MG customers over the next few years.”
