Eddie Stobart cements five-year deal with Tarmac

Tarmac has awarded a five-year deal to Eddie Stobart to help its cement and lime division move from a national to a regional transport operation.

The contract takes effect this month and sees Tarmac using Eddie Stobart’s fleet to help distribute bulk and packed cement to customers in the South East.

Eddie Stobart is one of six operators selected to support Tarmac’s new regional delivery strategy.

The others are: Abbey Logistics (bulk cement, Scotland); Pollocks (packed cement, Scotland and North); Lomas Distribution (bulk and packed cement, Central); Wincanton (bulk and packed cement, South West); and Proctors (packed cement, Barnstone).

Terry Scott, Tarmac’s national logistics manager, said: “Our new regional model and strengthened network capability means we’re able to offer a better, more flexible service to meet customer requirements, and we’re delighted to be working with Eddie Stobart and our other regional distribution partners going forwards.”
