Eddie Stobart (ESL) with A.G. Barr

Eddie Stobart’s Contract Logistics and Warehousing Division (ESL) launched a new combined production and storage facility at Magna Park, Milton Keynes on 6 October 2013, which was completely redesigned for the needs of client A.G. Barr (AGB). This was a further key development in an already efficient relationship between the two businesses. Considerable innovation, combined with an unrivalled operational efficiency from planning through to launch, resulted in a smooth transition that most notably had absolutely zero negative impact on daily service and capability. Ian Johnson 3PL Contracts Manager for A.G. Barr said: “The start up of the new Milton Keynes facility was achieved without any requirement to engage my commercial colleagues and all of A.G.Barr’s customers received exactly the same high quality of customer service before, during and after the move. The success is down to a focus on excelling in customer service as a priority, as well as testament to the open communication in the partnership between A.G. Barr and ESL and the hard work and effort put in by both company teams working ‘hand in glove’ together at all times.”
