B&Q Kitchen Bedroom & Bathroom transport extension

Wincanton plc, a leading provider of supply chain solutions in the UK and Ireland, today announces that it has been awarded a contract extension with B&Q, the largest home improvement and garden centre retailer in the UK, for all of its Kitchen, Bedroom and Bathroom ("KBB") deliveries across mainland UK.

Wincanton has supported B&Q's Kitchens, Bedroom and Bathroom operations in the Midlands region for the past three years and has now been awarded the national transport and final mile delivery contract for mainland UK. Building on the existing Wincanton B&Q relationship, this extension will see Wincanton manage the whole delivery process including delivery directly to B&Q customers as they receive their KBB home delivery goods, further demonstrating Wincanton's national home delivery network and reputation for efficient, customer focused operations.

Adrian Colman, Chief Executive commented:

"Wincanton's specialist knowledge of the UK retail sector has equipped us to build a robust partnership with B&Q and we will work together to build a more efficient and scalable distribution network.

Our focus on customer service and efficiency has enabled us to further add to our existing relationship, supporting B&Q as they meet the demands of a multichannel retail network."
