Wincanton renews contracts with Valero and Marley
Wincanton, the largest British third party logistics company,
today announces that it has successfully renewed contracts for its
Industrial and Transport business with Valero Energy Ltd ("Valero")
and Marley Ltd ("Marley").
Firstly, Wincanton has agreed terms with Valero to provide fuel
distribution services for a further five years. The Group will
manage transportation from Valero's UK terminals to more than 700
retail sites across the country. More than 200 deliveries will be
made by Wincanton every day, transporting over two billion litres
of ground fuel each year.
Wincanton has additionally renewed its contract with Marley for
the distribution of roofing products across the UK until late 2023.
This contract will continue a strong working relationship between
the two companies that stretches back over a decade to 2008. The
contract sees the Group use a dedicated fleet of specialist
vehicles, which will be supported by Wincanton's wider construction
fleet of over 200 mechanical off-load vehicles; which represents
the largest fleet in the UK.
Adrian Colman, CEO of Wincanton, commented: "We've been working
with Valero for more than 25 years. In that time, we've built up a
strong partnership with Valero and developed a real understanding
of the needs of its customers. Extending our working relationship
with Marley is validation of our expertise in servicing this
business up and down the UK with complex transportation
requirements."
