Wincanton Group has won an extension to its fulfilment and distribution partnership with Neal’s Yard Remedies, aided by its robotics offering, eco-friendly facility and value-added services.
Orders will be distributed from Wincanton's carbon neutral Cygnia facility in Northampton and will include the provision of value-added services, such as a bespoke gifting service and in-order sampling.
The new contract builds on Wincanton’s long-term relationship with Neal’s Yard Remedies, which began in 2008 and sees the group provide a nationwide fulfilment service for the retailer’s network of stores, as well as wholesale and retail partners.
Carl Moore, Wincanton managing director of e-fulfilment, said: “Neal’s Yard Remedies is a brand that we have had a strong working relationship with for well over a decade and we are pleased to expand our services to them into their direct-to-consumer offering.
