Our story

Our story image one Our story image two Drag the image Drag the image
Hachette UK Distribution is a division of Hachette UK. We are a global business and one of the largest publishing groups in the UK, delivering books and other media worldwide to customers from our state-of-the-art facility at the Hely Hutchinson Centre (HHC). This project was the largest single investment in the history of the UK book distribution market.
HHC has been our home since 2018, when Hachette UK took the decision to incorporate some of the most advanced warehousing technology and merge two existing distribution centres into one. We’re incredibly proud to have been leading the market in service levels since 2020. Our exceptional performance ensures complete satisfaction for our publishers, customers and authors.
