Wincanton and Waitrose extend partnership
THE FIVE year contract will see Wincanton continue to manage the storage and distribution of wines and spirits for Waitrose & Partners from its bonded warehouse facility in Greenford, London.
Wincanton has managed this operation for Waitrose & Partners since 1998.
The operation will see Wincanton serve Waitrose’s network of 329 shops, including 59 convenience shops, in addition to 27 Welcome Break motorway service locations and its dedicated online wine ordering site, Waitrose Cellar. Wincanton will coordinate the delivery of some 13 million cases of wines and spirits for the retailer each year.
Waitrose will also benefit from Wincanton’s latest investment in a new warehouse management system which will improve efficiency and accuracy.
