Magnet Contract Renewal
Wincanton announces National Contract Renewal with Magnet
Wincanton plc ("Wincanton" or "the Group"), a leading provider
of supply chain solutions in the UK and Ireland, today announces
that the UK's largest kitchen and joinery specialist, Magnet, has
renewed its national home delivery and transport contract with
Wincanton in a long term deal.
Magnet, which has close to 200 showrooms across the country, is
part of Europe's largest kitchen group, Nobia and originally began
its relationship with Wincanton in 2006.
The renewal sees the continuation of Wincanton's two-man home
delivery and transportation service from Magnet's North East
manufacturing plant in Darlington to Magnet's UK wide customers via
strategic distribution sites, handling almost 40,000 deliveries of
kitchen furniture, appliances and internal joinery products a
year.
To ensure Wincanton remains at the forefront of innovation and
service, bespoke double deck trailers will be introduced to the
contract, which will consolidate the transportation of kitchen and
joinery products for Magnet. This introduction, combined with
continued investment in Wincanton's award winning home delivery
systems, will create a "step change" in customer satisfaction and
performance of the service.
Paul Symmons, Nobia Supply Chain Director - Western Europe,
said:
"The Magnet brand is synonymous with quality, craftsmanship and
customer care and these are the same qualities we look for in any
organisation with which we do business."
"We have a long standing relationship with the Wincanton team
who have delivered a consistently high level of customer
satisfaction and operational performance and demonstrated a clear
commitment to adding value to our business."
Eric Born, Wincanton's Chief Executive, said:
"By remaining at the forefront of supply chain innovation,
Wincanton consistently adds value to our customers' operations and
we are delighted that Magnet has recognised our commitment to
continuous improvement and customer care. We look forward to
building on our partnership and enhancing the Magnet customer
journey. "
