Wincanton PLC
('Wincanton' or the 'Group')
Wincanton selected by HMRC for logistics contract to support
customs clearance
Wincanton has been selected by HMRC to provide logistics
services to support air and sea freight inspections.
The five-year agreement will see Wincanton work together with
HMRC to check inbound shipments into the UK, operating two newly
established Inland Pre-Clearance sites with associated transport.
HMRC and Border Force undertake targeted checks inland, which help
prevent mis-declared goods from flowing into the country.
Adrian Colman, CEO at Wincanton, commented:
"HMRC had a number of specific requirements for suppliers to
this contract; from general haulage and container transport
experience through to the ability to provide secure, flexible
warehousing and an industry leading safety record. The key to our
approach is the ability to integrate and deliver all aspects
through a single management team. This was a clear differentiator
for us.
"We are delighted to have won this contract with HMRC."
