Off to work at BHX4
BHX4 is a 'receive centre' or 'cross dock facility' for Amazon goods. According to the Coventry Telegraph, everything sold by Amazon in the UK passes in and out of this facility, but the goods are not stored here for more than a few hours. Once processed, they are sent on to 'fulfilment centres' elsewhere in the UK 'and even Europe'. It is one of four Amazon sites in the Midlands, all named after the code for Birmingham Airport. The Telegraph reporter claims to have observed a 'fast-paced but good-natured atmosphere' in the building, which has three floors, each the size of eight football pitches. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-news-amazon-coventry-warehouse-15580127
The receive centre is built on part of the site of the Jaguar Browns Lane plant, which made Jaguar cars between 1951 and 2005. This change of use is emblematic of the shift of employment in Coventry away from manufacturing to distribution and services.
