Popular Helston children's wear company Frugi is opening a second warehouse in Europe in preparation for Brexit.

There had been speculation on social media that the warehouse was relocating out of Helston, but this proved to be unfounded.

The company is actually expanding its operation, working with courier service DHL to fulfil its European orders while continuing to maintain its head office and UK warehouse on the Water-ma-Trout industrial estate.

A spokesperson for Frugi told the Packet: "We are extending existing fulfilment operations (but not relocating) and this will be our second fulfilment centre to support our ongoing global growth ambitions.

"We are currently moving our European stock to a new DHL fulfilment centre in the Netherlands in readiness for Brexit.

"Our UK warehouse will continue in Helston to serve all UK orders and our head office will continue in Helston."
