Behind the Scenes: Launching our New Warehouse & Showroom
Laura James is thrilled to announce the initial soft launch of our new warehouse and showroom in partnership with Prologis UK. Our operations centre has relocated to Rugby, situated at DIRFT, one of the UK's key logistics hubs. This strategic move supports our expanding business with key transport links for our supply chain and significantly larger premises, creating the base for our first-ever showroom.
On Wednesday, 1st July, the Daventry town Mayor officially opened the location to celebrate the new premises. The entire team from Laura James HQ and the Senior Leadership team plus a few friends and family all attended the event explore the new space.
Construction began on the new site back in September 2025 and is expected to be fully functioning by September 2026. At Laura James we are so excited by the major business move which shows just how much the brand has grown and will continue to do so in the future.
Our CEO Matthew Talbot comments: “We needed a new distribution facility that allows us to improve speed of service and enable the business to continue to grow at a fast pace without operational constraints. We chose a location that would drive efficiency across our UK supply chain. With strong transport links, proven sustainability credentials, and flexibility all key to our decision, Prologis helped us find the ideal solution at DIRFT. We are extremely excited to bring all our operational activities under one roof and look forward to working with the Prologis team on the project.”
The new facility also has a new photography studio and showroom which will enable us to host press events and customer appointments, offering a unique opportunity to experience our elegant and lifestyle-led furniture collections in person.
Once the warehouse is fully operational, we will be holding an official grand opening for the press and interior experts later in the year.
