XPO Logistics has secured a multi-year contract to manage Tesco’s chilled distribution to stores in the North West.
Under the agreement, XPO will be responsible for temperature-controlled transport using XPO’s fleet and drivers from Tesco’s distribution centre in Widnes, Cheshire.
Dan Myers, Managing Director – UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, said: “Tesco and XPO have built trust between our two businesses over many years by working together to ensure a robust supply chain.
“We believe this has created a solid foundation for the future development of our partnership. Providing transport operations at Widnes distribution centre is a natural evolution in our relationship, and we look forward to supporting Tesco in delivering this next phase in their logistics strategy.”
XPO has provided non-food transport services to Tesco for over 25 years.
