Wine merchant Gerrard Seel has chosen Gefco UK as its multimodal logistics provider.

The deal involves the delivery of imported products into Gerrard Seel’s bonded warehouse in Liverpool. It will transport products via full truck loads, rail and sea into the warehouse from various regions across the globe.

Gefco claimed that transporting goods by rail has allowed it to carry 6.5% more freight than before.

Xavier Archbold, key account manager at Gefco UK, said: “We aim to offer all our clients the best service possible and at the best prices. We were very happy to be able to provide Gerrard Seel with these multimodal solutions with the added benefit of less environmental impact.

"We hope that this relationship will develop further as a consequence and look to continue providing the best possible service.”
