Wyndeham awards multi-million pound logistics deal

Wyndeham Press Group has appointed DHL Freight and Contract Logistics (UK) to provide transport distribution and managed logistics for the group.

Under the terms of the multi-million pound contract, DHL will supply Wyndeham with freight services, SameDay and NextDay parcel services, and NextDay pallet deliveries.

Wyndeham Press Group chief operating officer Roy Kingston (pictured right) said: "We are delighted to award DHL the contract for providing freight services to the Group. DHL is very experienced in moving time-sensitive material and flexible enough to ensure we meet the changing requirements of our customers."

A fleet of 44 tonne tractor units and trailers, plus a number of rigid vehicles, will be strategically placed across Wyndeham's print sites.

Kingston said: "By optimising vehicles around the country, we can reduce our costs per pallet mile and, by reducing the numbers of vehicles on the road, make a further contribution to the environment."

DHL will also provide on-site administration and management to coordinate all of Wyndeham's logistic requirements. A full livery service will complement the partnership.
