ILG Space Gatwick is Opening Soon
Space Gatwick, situated in Gatwick, West Sussex, UK is ILG’s newest and most advanced fulfillment center. Opening in September 2020, the warehouse is currently being fitted out to become our most state-of-the-art and energy-efficient facility.
Like all other ILG warehouses, Space Gatwick offers our customers a pristine, high-specification fulfillment environment, equipped exclusively for the storing, picking, personalization, packing, despatch, and returns of high-value goods on behalf of high-growth e-commerce brands, and staffed by expert, highly trained personnel.

Covid Safety Measures Within Space Gatwick
Space Gatwick’s layout and working practices are designed to balance maximum operational efficiency with minimum environmental impact and the need to keep our staff safe and socially distanced within the workspace at all times. Staff will be distanced at 2m apart, work in one-way traffic flows and wear PPE for extra safety. These measures, together with extensive health and safety training and thorough cleaning regimes, will keep infection risk within Space Gatwick as low as possible. This gives ILG customers the reassurance that, despite the challenges of Covid-19, we will continue to fulfil our SLAs.
Environmentally Friendly Fulfillment Center
Many of our customers put caring for the environment high on their list of corporate responsibilities. As a sustainable 3PL facility, Space Gatwick gives our customers the confidence that their fulfillment supply chain is perfectly aligned with their own environmental aims by following our ILG sustainability plan. Every inch of the facility’s 48,000 square feet is designed to shrink its carbon footprint, with roof-mounted solar panels that generate electricity to power the warehouse, plenty of skylights to flood the building with natural light and low-consumption LED lighting.
Space Gatwick will operate electric forklifts, power-saving conveyors, and high-performance heating to reduce CO2 emissions. Any excess solar electricity produced on-site will plug back into the UK’s national grid. Our fulfillment teams will use fully recyclable packaging and operate 100% digital picking. In addition, ILG staff will be well rewarded for thinking and acting green. We install electric car charging points and secure bike stores to encourage all our warehouse personnel to travel to and from work in the most environment-friendly way.
