David Irlam, Executive Director
AG Barr
AG Barr Soft Drinks
The AG Barr business is enjoying significant success, as the
company’s most recent results show, and the relationship with
Eddie Stobart is growing too. Initially the warehousing contract
in Daventry was for 10,000 pallets a week, now it has grown to
14,000 pallets a week and with the transport and distribution,
is worth some £7million per annum to Eddie Stobart.
Providing Bespoke Solutions
AG Barr wanted to outsource its significant logistics operations,
which it had been running in-house. Following an open tender
process and pitching alongside other leading transport and
distribution specialists, Eddie Stobart became A G Barr’s sole
transport, rail, logistics and warehouse services provider. This
comprehensive multimodal service offering, covering road, rail
and warehousing, put Eddie Stobart at a distinct advantage
over other providers pitching for the business.
Eddie Stobart began its contract with A G Barr, the leading soft drinks manufacturer, in May 2010.
It is excellent business for Eddie Stobart, as a large portion is transporting goods from Scotland
into England, which is always attractive in the transport sector. There’s plenty of work taking
goods North from England to Scotland, but less going South – this contract helps fill empty miles
and improves fleet utilisation across the business.
