Regional coverage

The new facility will serve customers across Greater Manchester, Liverpool and North Wales. CareCo expects the operation to support between 1,800 and 1,900 home installations and approximately 200 mobile service visits annually. It expects delivery and installation times to fall by three to six days across those areas, subject to seasonal demand.

Facilities and vehicles

Located within NRS Healthcare’s existing Preston facility, the hub uses approximately 3,000 square feet of racking and assembly space, with capacity for around 80 pallets and up to four days of installation-ready stock. A dedicated engineering area will assess and repair products collected from customers. Two Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans and a Mercedes-Benz Vito support installations and mobile servicing.

Jobs and group infrastructure

The operation created six positions: two drivers, one driver’s mate, one mobile technical specialist, one team leader and one warehouse operative. CareCo says localised routing could remove approximately 70,000 transit miles from UK roads annually. The hub follows Mobilitas Group’s 2025 acquisition of NRS Healthcare, enabling CareCo to use existing space and infrastructure. CareCo also plans to expand its mobile technician network in the coming months.
