Family-run Worcestershire logistics firm Marshall’s Transport has secured a logistics and distribution partnership with British start-up and confectionery brand Wild Thingz.
Following rapid growth Wild Thingz was looking for a logistics partner with experience in ambient food-grade transport and warehousing to help it scale up its distribution.
Under the contract, Marshall manages transit, storage, pallet distribution and fulfilment to online fulfilment hubs for Wild Thingz, which produces a wide range of sweets which are vegan, organic and gluten-free.
The Pallet-Track member also undertook and passed a Soil Association audit for the storage of ambient pre-packed organic products on behalf of Wild Thingz.
Brian Simpson, Marshall’s Transport operations director, said: “We operate as an extension of the Wild Thingz team, handling every step of the logistics chain, from loading, through transport and delivery, all with precision, clarity and care.
“Our service and support have been a game-changer for Wild Thingz, helping them to ensure key clients and large retail buyers have been fulfilled quickly and reliably.
“From day one, the experience of working with Wild Thingz has been brilliant. They have been a joy to work with and we have always tried to help accommodate their needs as a start-up company – whether that’s meeting a surprise retailer deadline or preparing and holding pallets for longer than originally planned.
“We are looking forward to building a successful long-term partnership.”
Abby Hambrook, Wild Thingz head of operations, said: “Working with Marshall’s has been a game-changer for Wild Thingz.
“As a startup in a competitive sector, we need a logistics partner who doesn’t treat us like just another pallet number, but someone who genuinely supports our growth. With Marshall’s, we found that.
“Their flexibility, professionalism, sense of ownership and care makes us feel like they are as invested in our success as much as we are.”
