Fire at ASOS Barnsley Distribution Centre
At 9.50pm on Friday 20th June a fire broke out in our Barnsley
Distribution Centre. A full evacuation was conducted successfully.
Thanks to swift action by our team at the site, South Yorkshire
Fire and Rescue and our security systems, we are very grateful
there were no injuries. Barnsley is the centre of our distribution
capability and in order not to disappoint our customers we
subsequently suspended taking orders. At 31st May 2014 the business
held GBP159m of stock at cost, of which around 70% is held at
Barnsley.
None of the technology, automation or structure of the building
has been affected by the fire. Our initial estimate is that
approximately 20% of the total stock at the site has been
compromised by fire damage and the sprinkler systems. The clean-up
process commenced on Saturday morning and progressed quickly.
Consequently at 2am this morning we recommenced taking orders. We
are fully insured for loss of stock and business interruption.
We have been advised by the South Yorkshire Police that after
initial investigations, they are treating the incident as
deliberate and have commenced a criminal enquiry. We are
cooperating fully with this investigation.
