"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Supermarket giant Asda is poised to outsource the delivery operations for its George clothing brand's online orders, a decision set to impact approximately 1,200 employees. The private-equity owned retailer has confirmed proposals to transfer the distribution of George.com to DHL, with the change scheduled to take effect from January 2027. This strategic move will see all online clothing logistics relocate from Asda's current depots in Lymedale, Staffordshire; Brackmills, Northamptonshire; and Washington, Tyne and Wear, to DHL's facility in Derby."
Asda plans to outsource online distribution for its George clothing brand to DHL, with the transfer scheduled to begin in January 2027. The change will move online clothing logistics from depots in Lymedale, Brackmills and Washington to DHL's Derby facility. Approximately 1,200 employees are expected to be affected and will be offered the opportunity to transfer their employment to DHL. Existing Asda distribution sites will remain operational to handle in-store George purchases, and employees working on other parts of Asda's business at those locations will not be affected. The decision follows rapid expansion of George.com and forecasts that it will double in size by 2032.
