What is changing
Until now, Irish customers' online orders have been packed and shipped from the UK. From November 2026, they will be handled in Ireland. The investment is split into:
- €8.2 million of new spending on online order fulfilment
- €9.3 million on store fulfilment, which supplies Holland & Barrett's Irish shops
The work is being run with Road Truck Services (RTS), a logistics firm based in Kildare. The retailer will also hold about €1.5 million more stock in Ireland and add 34 Irish brands to its online range.
Likely roles
Because this is a fulfilment operation, most jobs are expected in:
- Warehouse picking and packing
- Goods-in and stock control
- Dispatch and delivery
- Team leader and supervisor posts
The new roles appear to sit with the logistics partner RTS rather than directly with Holland & Barrett.
A boost for Kildare
Kildare town sits on the M7 motorway, making it a natural base for distribution across Ireland. Moving fulfilment from the UK to Ireland also means faster deliveries for Irish customers, which could lead to more stock, more orders and, over time, more jobs at the site.
How to apply
No official vacancy page for these roles was published. Job seekers in Kildare should watch the official channels of Holland & Barrett Ireland and Road Truck Services, and check Ireland's public employment service, Intreo, for local warehouse vacancies.
What it means for job seekers
- Entry-level warehouse work is coming to a smaller Irish town, not only Dublin.
- Peak season is near, so hiring may move fast before Christmas.
- Forklift tickets help for stock and goods-in roles.
- EU/EEA citizens can work in Ireland freely; others need a valid permit.
