The courier firm wants to relocate from Acton Gate to sites in Bedford and Darlington.

Meanwhile, Habitat will be moving its operations from Kettering to Stafford. Staff have been informed of the proposed move with a consultation with union officials due to begin.

A spokeswoman for DHL Supply Chain said: "Following the sale of Homebase to Westfarmers Ltd and the reduction in volumes this entails, DHL has announced proposals to repurpose its Distribution Centre at Acton Gate, Stafford.

"Affected staff have been informed of the situation and will shortly enter into consultation with unions and site representatives to discuss these proposals.

"DHL would like to thank their Acton Gate team for their commitment at this difficult time and stress that the decision in no way reflects on their quality of work."
