Wincanton secures three significant contract renewals
Wincanton, the largest British logistics company, is pleased to
announce that it has secured contract renewals with three of its
existing customers; Asda, British Sugar and Lucozade Ribena Suntory
("LRS").
The contract renewal with Asda will see Wincanton provide
dedicated transport and warehousing for the next three years,
extending the Wincanton-Asda relationship to 16 years across the
logistics function. This renewal incorporates the operations of
four key Asda sites. The contract employs over 1,200 Wincanton
staff.
Wincanton has also extended its relationship with British Sugar
with a three year contract renewal to transport product between
British Sugar sites and to complete daily deliveries from warehouse
to retailers across the UK.
In addition, Wincanton has extended its contract with LRS for
four years to manage two semi-automated sites including the LRS
National Distribution Centre where goods are held for UK
distribution and export. In 2018, these sites handled over 2.4
billion bottles of soft drinks, enough to fill around 500 Olympic
swimming pools. This latest agreement between Wincanton and LRS
takes the association between the two brands to over 25 years.
Adrian Colman, CEO of Wincanton, commented: "We are proud of our
longstanding relationship with all three customers and are
delighted to extend our partnerships using Wincanton's superior
warehousing and logistic solutions to drive operational excellence
across the UK."
