Wincanton secures £7m contract renewal with Saint-Gobain UK
Wincanton has secured a three-year renewal of its UK contract with French construction materials specialist Saint-Gobain to distribute the manufacturer’s range of products for the UK water industry. The agreement, worth £7 million over three years, extends Wincanton’s nine-year partnership with Saint-Gobain. Wincanton will use its preferred roster of sub-contractors for all long-distance product movements and utilise its in-house fleet for trunking operations. By rationalising its distribution processes, Wincanton expects to increase load fill per vehicle, and raise the number of multi-drop customer deliveries. A new consolidation centre in West Thurrock will complement Wincanton’s Ilkeston site and improve service to Saint-Gobain’s customer base in the South East, which comprises around 80% of all orders.
