Shaw National Distribution Centre (also known as Shaw NDC) was a warehouse distribution centre located in Shaw and Crompton, a town in Greater Manchester, England. It was the main distribution and order processing centre for British retailer The Very Group who used it to store "over 1,000,000 sq ft (93,000 m2) of products", ready for delivery through their distribution arm, Business Express,[1] which later became Home Delivery Network after the merger of Business Express and Reality. In 2011, Home Delivery Network was rebranded as Yodel. Shaw NDC spanned 23 acres (9.3 ha),[2] making it one of Europe's largest warehouse distribution centres during its lifetime.
After The Very Group relocated in 2021 to a new purpose-built facility in the East Midlands, four of the buildings on the site, including three cotton mills, have since been demolished to make way for future plans of housing.
The remaining purpose-built delivery sortation facility - built in 1999 - was previously occupied by delivery company Yodel until its closure in July 2024 as their Northern hub in the national network, alongside the Southern hub at Hatfield and Midlands hub at Wednesbury.[3][4][5]
