Wincanton has won contract extensions with Ikea to operate its distribution centres in Medway and Harlow.

The logistics business said the two- and five-year extensions showed the progress it was making against its strategic focus on growth markets.

Wincanton added that it also reflected its ability to capitalise on a shift in consumer purchasing habits during the pandemic.
