Hot on the heels of securing a five year extension to its existing contract with insulation giant Saint-Gobain Isover, national supply chain specialist TM Logistics (TML) has been awarded an additional £1million contract by the firm.
The new contract sees TML transporting up to 24 loads of insulation rolls and batts per day from Saint-Gobain Isover’s warehouse in Gotham, Nottinghamshire to customers across the South of England and East Anglia. The company will also be providing warehousing support including managing inbound and outbound stock, loading vehicles and tracking product as it moves through the supply chain.
“We’ve been working with Saint-Gobain Isover since 2006 and our relationship has gone from strength to strength, culminating in the award of this new contract,” said Grahame Taylor, managing director at TM Logistics.
“We’ve repeatedly demonstrated how we can add value to Saint-Gobain Isover’s bottom line and we’ve become an integral part of their team.
“The Gotham contract adds a new dimension to our relationship as, for the first time, we’ll be providing Saint-Gobain Isover not only with a transport solution, but also comprehensive warehousing support.
“Using the learning we’ve gained from our existing work for the company at its Runcorn site, we’ve quickly established a fast, efficient service at Gotham and we’re well on track to meeting, if not exceeding our service level agreement.”
Indeed TML’s dedicated on-site team, comprising five drivers and three operational staff, has already clocked up an impressive 100% service level for distribution and an equally impressive score of 99.6% for the warehousing operations.
Dave Lydon, Saint-Gobain Isover’s supply chain manager said: “We are looking forward to strengthening our professional relationship further with the introduction of TM Logistics into our Gotham distribution centre. The operation of a 3rd party warehouse is a new step for Isover in the UK and we are supremely confident that TM Logistics will meet our expectations and add value in their area of expertise.
“I also believe that the introduction of four new ‘Draw-Bar’ units, which enables 24 pallet shipments between Runcorn and Gotham, rather than the original 20 pallet loads, shows both businesses’ commitment and sensitivity to their environmental responsibilities through investment and partnership.”
TM Logistics employs over 350 people in 17 on-site operations and warehouses across the UK. Nationally, the firm operates a fleet of over 200 vehicles and 300 trailers and ranks many top name companies such as Saint-Gobain Isover, Bosch Thermotechnology Group, Crown Food UK, Kingspan Insulation, Rexam Beverage Can UK Ltd, Plastic Omnium and Baylis & Harding Ltd amongst its customer portfolio.
