Two thousand new jobs are being created in Lichfield by a fashion retailer.

ASOS has confirmed it will invest £90million in a new fulfilment centre at Fradley.

The company said the 437,000 sq ft warehouse would create 2,000 jobs over the next three years.

Nick Beighton, chief executive of ASOS, said:

> “We’re thrilled to be laying down the foundations for our future growth in Lichfield.  
>  
> “This significant investment in infrastructure and large-scale job creation is a reflection of the confidence ASOS has in its future and the quality of the skills and talent available in this well-placed location.  
>  
> “When fully up and running in 2023, the site will support our ever-increasing customer demand and enable us to develop our offerings and delivery capabilities even further.”  
>  
> Nick Beighton, ASOS

Lichfield MP Michael Fabricant said the news was a boost for the region in the wake of the current challenges posed by the coronavirus crisis.

> “ASOS is one of the world’s leading online fashion retailers, so this is wonderful news – particularly at a time when we are all suffering under the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic.   
>  
> “It’s a reflection of the work ethic and positive business environment we enjoy in the Lichfield area.   
>  
> “I hope that most of these 2,000 new jobs will be fulfilled by people who live in Lichfield district, and I welcome ASOS to our part of the world.”  
>  
> Michael Fabricant MP

The company hopes the site will be operation within 12 months with a gradual ramping up of the facility ready for full capacity in 2023.

Alok Sharma, the Secretary of State for Business, said:

> “ASOS is a great British success story at the heart of our vibrant fashion industry and I welcome their clear vote of confidence in our skilled workforce.   
>  
> “This job-creating investment in Lichfield is exactly the type of long-term commitment we need from businesses as we build back better from the pandemic.”
