AO, the UK’s most trusted electricals retailer, is marking five years of operationsat its Larkhall delivery depot with new investment in its fleet, site improvements, and local job creation.

The online electricals retailer first moved to its 20,000 sq ft site at Strutherhill Industrial Estate in July 2021, relocating from its previous base at Canderside Toll Distribution Centre. Since then, the Larkhall outbasehas become a key part of AO’s UK delivery network.

To support continued growth in Scotland, AO has now invested in a brand-new fleet of delivery vans and created eight full-time jobs for people in South Lanarkshire.

The investment also includes upgrades to the depot itself, with refreshed signage and improvements to employee facilities, including newly redecorated office, training, and break room spaces.

Scott Chapman, depot manager at AO’s Larkhall outbase, said: “Reaching five years inLarkhall is a really proud moment for us. Over that time, we’ve built a fantastic team and become part of the local community.

“This investment is about building on that – continuing to create opportunities forlocal people and making sure we remain a great place for local people to work and grow.

“We’re excited about the future and looking forward to welcoming new team members.”
