Retailer Jollyes has agreed a new 10-year logistics partnership with supply chain partner Wincanton.
Wincanton has provided warehouse and distribution services to Jollyes since 2019. The new contract will support Jollyes’ ambitions to grow its estate by an additional 12 new stores over the next 12 months with the backing of new owner TDR Capital.
The retailer recently completed the transition of logistics operations to a new shared-user Wincanton site in Middlewich, Cheshire, enabling the provider to pick and deliver up to 25% more cases each year. The operation is supported by Wincanton’s warehouse management system to deliver tailored inventory management, item tracking and performance reporting.
Jollyes chief executive Joe Wykes said: “Our partnership with Wincanton is a crucial part of the platform we’re building to support our growth plans.
“Our determination to grow, bringing our special combination of expertise, service and value to UK pet parents has to be underpinned by world class infrastructure that will help us realise those ambitions.
“We’re looking forward to building on our existing strong relationship with Wincanton as we move well beyond the 100-plus stores we trade from today.”
Carl Moore, managing director of eFulfilment at Wincanton, added: “We’re delighted that Jollyes has chosen Wincanton to continue to support its future growth journey. Our shared-user warehouse model means we can provide the agility and resilience retailers need to delight their customers and grow their business.”
