Ocado and Morrisons to End Erith Deliveries, Shift to Dordon

LONDON (Reuters) - British online supermarket Ocado Group said its partner Morrisons will gradually cease deliveries from its robotic warehouse in Erith, in London, and will instead increasingly utilise a site in Dordon, central England.

Ocado said on Thursday that Morrisons, a partner since 2013, will also fulfil more online orders from its store network using Ocado technology.

The group said Morrisons' move means Ocado Retail - a joint venture between Ocado Group and Marks & Spencer - has the option to use additional capacity at Erith.
