Logistics firm Eddie Stobart has secured its first food and drink transport contract with Tesco.
The logistics firm, which already delivers a number of non-food lines for Tesco, will take over distribution from the retailer's Blackmills depot near Northampton and will mean that Tesco now accounts for 20% of its revenue. It will transport around 200 loads per day for Tesco.
The deal follows a further link-up with Tesco in May this year when it received £435,000 of government funding to move Tesco containers between Daventry in Northamptonshire and Coatbridge in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, by rail (The Grocer, 6 May, p11).
