Landscaping firm awards logistics contract
25 January 2024
WINCANTON HAS picked up the 5 year deal.
As a result of this first time outsource, Wincanton is responsible for a major part of Marshalls’ national transport network, moving over 3.5 million tonnes of products per year.
Marshalls chief operating officer Simon Bourne, says: “As our business has grown, so has the volume and complexity of items that we deliver and we’re at a point in our journey where we need to look at the future of this specialist area.
“Wincanton are a leading supply chain partner for many of the UK’s most recognisable brands and, as a long-term supplier to our roofing division Marley, we have an excellent opportunity to extend a highly successful relationship.
“By partnering with Wincanton, we will be taking advantage of their programme to invest in diesel-alternative fuel options, contributing to our sustainability goals. We’re also supporting our drive for continuous improvement for our customers, including improving delivery times, access to more specialist vehicles and consistent delivery tracking.”
The entirety of the Marshalls Landscape Products fleet will now be managed and operated by Wincanton, with Marshalls Landscape Products and Brick & Masonry subcontractors also managed by Wincanton. Mortars & Screeds, Civils & Drainage and Landscape Protection, alongside yard operations, will remain in-house at Marshalls.
Marshalls will take advantage of Wincanton’s digital tools with the EyeQ digital transport platform underpinning a data-led fully-managed transport service regardless of who owns the vehicles. The enhanced optimisation, visibility and reporting EyeQ provides will deliver better cost and sustainability outcomes for Marshalls.
The new partnership also builds on Wincanton’s contract with Marley Roofing Products, a specialist in pitched roof systems and a division of Marshalls, aligning the national transport network under one framework.
Up to 300 colleagues will transfer from Marshalls and join Wincanton’s team.
