CEVA Logistics opens new facility in Derby to expand UK operations

CEVA Logistics has announced the opening of a new facility in Derby, marking the latest step in the company's ongoing investment across its UK network. The site is expected to support the logistics provider's growing portfolio of contract logistics and supply chain customers in the Midlands region.

Why Derby?

Derby's location in the East Midlands places it within reach of several of the country's key motorway corridors, including the M1, M6 and A38. The city has long been recognised as a strategic distribution hub, with established road and rail links serving manufacturers, retailers and e-commerce businesses across the UK. By basing operations in Derby, CEVA Logistics aims to reduce transit times for clients shipping to and from the Midlands and northern England.

What the new site offers

The facility is designed to handle a mix of warehousing, fulfilment and value-added logistics services. CEVA Logistics has indicated that the Derby operation will support sectors such as automotive, retail and industrial manufacturing, where demand for integrated supply chain solutions continues to rise.

Broader UK expansion

The Derby opening forms part of CEVA Logistics' wider strategy to strengthen its presence across the United Kingdom. Recent industry trends point to sustained demand for modern logistics space, particularly in regions that combine skilled workforces with strong transport connectivity. CEVA's investment also comes as other major players are expanding their own UK footprints, including new logistics facilities in Manchester, new entrants entering the third-party logistics market, and long-term partnerships between automakers and logistics providers such as the extended BYD and CEVA Logistics agreement.

• Strategic Midlands location near the M1 and M6 corridors
• Multi-sector support including automotive, retail and manufacturing
• Part of a broader push to scale CEVA's UK contract logistics network
