Wincanton has won a contract to provide warehousing and transport services for Brompton Bicycle, the UK’s largest bike manufacturer and creator of the iconic folding bike.
The four-year deal involves Wincanton consolidating the bike company’s network of warehouses in London into a single facility in Greenford.
This site, located close to Brompton’s manufacturing facility, will be operated by Wincanton on behalf of the business.
James Hurrell, grocery and consumer MD at Wincanton said: “Brompton is a real British success story and one that we’re delighted to bring on board as a customer.
“We look forward to working together and are pleased that our storage and distribution infrastructure, and the expertise we offer alongside it, will help to support Brompton’s next phase of growth.”
Laurent Ramanathan, Brompton supply chain director, said it had been impressed by the logistics company’s commitment to customer service, driving efficiencies and productivity:
“As our business continues to scale globally, Wincanton are the ideal local partner to provide the necessary warehousing capacity to support our manufacturing operations in Greenford,” he said.
