Fowler Welch wins food transport contract

One of the UK’s leading fast moving consumer goods supply chain organisations, Fowler Welch will be collecting and distributing 45,000 pallets per annum to retailers up and down the country from its Washington, Tyne and Wear depot.

Following an in-depth tender proposal, Fowler Welch was chosen after devising a solution that would offer Heck Foods UK the most efficient route to market while providing continuity and sustainability of the current service.

Heck was looking for an experienced partner that would understand its business goals and add value to a fast-paced logistics operation while delivering flexibility to match the demands of the supply chain.

In response, Fowler Welch delivered a proposal that focused on three core pillars:

– continuity of operation through a single-sourced solution
– transparency of performance of information
– traceability management and excellent time management and flexibility.

Andrew Keeble, managing director at Heck Foods said: “Fowler Welch has a proven track record for providing flexible and responsive solutions and from our initial meetings with the team it was very clear that they were able to offer us a flexible and efficient service that would deliver tangible benefits to our business.

“The experience and expertise that Fowler Welch brings to the table makes me confident that they will quickly become an extension of the Heck team and deliver an innovative service that will increase efficiencies across our supply chain operation.”

Jonathan Lee, Fowler Welch head of sales said: “As a company we pride ourselves on quality and flexibility and work to adapt our offering to the culture of our portfolio of individual customers. By listening, responding and delivering to the needs of Heck Foods and gaining an understanding of their business strategy and objectives, we have been able to offer tangible benefits to the efficiency of their supply chain and look forward to developing a long-standing partnership.”
