At the scene
BBC East reporter Kim Riley
I'm some distance from the giant warehouse because security staff are blocking the road leading to the building.
No-one from the media has been allowed through, so it's difficult to tell exactly what has happened.
Police and fire crews are next to the building and ambulances are parked up behind.
I understand emergency crews are working to remove fallen shelving and most staff were sent home yesterday.
There's no update on any casualty, but we are hopeful of more information from Culina Logistics later.
