Trek reveals new UK ‘campus’ offices and consolidates warehouse into Europe

Trek Bicycle is relocating in the UK for the first time since the late ‘90s. Sticking in Milton Keynes, the new premises will be within a campus environment which is being extensively renovated in time for Spring 2024.

The new Trek campus in the UK will feature an improved office environment, more facilities for employees including an onsite café and wellbeing facilities, as well as maintaining access to green spaces and the considerable MK cycling network.

In a move that you could probably now call a trend, Trek will be consolidating its distribution for the UK into Europe, specifically its existing facilities in the Netherlands and Germany, which was added in 2022 to boost capacity and speed of delivery. It means the UK warehouse is closing.

Trek said the majority of its UK business is already supplied from distribution centres in continental Europe, adding that it believes that this consolidation will improve consistency of supply by giving Trek UK’s retailers and customers access to a wider pool of inventory.

“We’re committed to operating an effective long-term business in the UK that delivers the highest quality service to our valued retailers and customers,” said Nigel Roberts, Country Manager of Trek Bicycle UK. “After much careful consideration, we’ve taken the opportunity to relocate to a new office and streamline our distribution in the UK. This move will improve the facilities for our office-based staff, reduce complexity and elevate our ability to supply a broad range of bikes and accessories.”

Trek will continue to deliver UK based dedicated support and service to customers and retailers in the UK with Customer Care, Warranty, Retailer Services and Trek Store teams operating from the Milton Keynes Trek campus office, alongside marketing, finance, retail, and IT departments.

Trek recently became British Cycling’s Community Bike Partner, assisting community outreach programmes nationwide.
