Widdowson wins £3m pallet deal
Leicester-based logistics company Widdowson Group has won a £3m distribution deal with IPP Logipal.
With its UK headquarters in Coventry, Netherlands-based IPP Logipal provides FMCG pallet rental across Europe.
After signing a deal with a major manufacturer in Leicester, IPP employed Widdowson Group to establish a pallet depot in the city.
The three-year contract is worth £3m to Widdowson Group, which processes up to 60,000 pallets each week.
Widdowson holds approximately 50,000 pallets for the company onsite.
David Bage, IPP Logipal’s operations manager for UK and Ireland, said: "Widdowson was initially chosen because it was recommended to us by two of our existing customers and the location of the company was very favourable.
"Then, once we did our own investigations and inspections we confirmed that they had the capacity to achieve the high levels of pallet processing that would be required for this contract."
