Wincanton has secured a three-year contract renewal with home improvement retailer Wickes to provide efficient home delivery of Hiab items to customers across the UK.

The contract renewal will see Wincanton continue to deliver Wickes’ heavier items, such as sandbags and plasterboard, to homes and trade customers using its own fleet and sub-contractors via a planning system developed in conjunction with Wickes.

Wincanton will continue to oversee the management of the vehicles and drivers across the UK, aiming to make sure vehicles make the most efficient delivery routes.
