New contract win with Britvic

Wincanton plc, the largest British logistics company, is pleased to announce a new contract with Britvic, one of the leading branded soft drinks businesses in the UK.

Wincanton has won the contract for Britvic's national transport operations, managing over 100,000 deliveries per annum, as well as renewing the contract for its existing warehouse in Lutterworth.

The new five-year deal will see Wincanton work with Britvic in the development of a best in-class supply chain. Wincanton will deploy its expertise in supply chain optimisation, along with delivering increased operational flexibility and visibility for Britvic. This new contract takes Wincanton's partnership with Britvic to 29 years.

Adrian Colman, Chief Executive, Wincanton commented:

"We are extremely pleased to have extended our well-established relationship with Britvic. The new contract is further evidence of our partnership approach and dedication to delivering effective and innovative supply chain operations. The broadening of our remit to Britvic's transport operations is particularly exciting and offers further scope to extend our relationship in a rapidly changing retail landscape."
