Jack Richards signs new deal in a Jiffy

Jack Richards & Son has won a deal to look after distribution for Jiffy Packaging.

Having worked together on a partial contract for the last three years, the haulier has now secured the contract in full, which went live at the start of this month.

The three-year deal sees Jack Richards providing transport nationwide for the manufacturer that has a head office and production facility in Winsford, Cheshire and a network of DCs across the UK.

To service the contract, the haulier has bought several DAF XFs although it didn’t specify the exact number as the resource will fluctuate in line with the client’s requirements.
