Wincanton £30m LPG deal

UK logistics provider Wincanton announces that it has entered into a £30m, five-year contract extension with LPG supplier AvantiGas. “Since 2002 Wincanton has provided delivery services to AvantiGas, and now delivers LPG in a 40-vehicle fleet to the company’s domestic and commercial customers across the UK,” says Wincanton. “Operating from seven sites across the UK, the fleet of 40 vehicles works around the clock, with driver numbers ranging from 56 during peak winter months, down to between 30 and 40 during the summer. The redeployment of assets and drivers to other Wincanton contracts with complementary seasonal demands ensured that AvantiGas’s investment would be fully optimised. We‘re truly delighted to be extending this long-term partnership. A contract win like this is evidence of our industry-leading credentials in the sector, including an outstanding health and safety record in what is a potentially dangerous industry, and our proven ability to deliver operational efficiencies in a very challenging economic environment.”
