Logistics firm Wincanton is to continue managing the transport and warehousing operations of Asda after agreeing a two-year extension to an existing contract.
The Wincanton-Asda relationship dates back to 2005, and the latest extension confirms the continuation of services through to 2023.
The partnership includes the management of warehousing and national transport operations across four key Asda sites in Doncaster, Larne, Rochdale and Wigan, covering frozen, chilled and ambient grocery, and general merchandise.
Chris Hall, Senior Director – Central Logistics, Asda, commented: “We are delighted to extend our on-going and productive relationship with Wincanton. When collaboration in the supply-chain is more important than ever, we look forward to continuing to find new and innovative ways to add value for both organisations.”
James Wroath, CEO of Wincanton, added: “We welcome this extension as a reflection of our strong collaborative relationship with Asda. As we face new challenges ahead, I’m certain Wincanton will add expertise and value to this long-standing partnership.”
