Fowler Welch expands with Winterbotham 31 May 2012
Fowler Welch has secured a contract with Winterbotham Darby – the award-winning supplier of foods to the retail and foodservice markets.
The contract will see Fowler Welch store, pick and despatch in excess of 5m cases of food a year through its facility at Paddock Wood, Kent. Product will be distributed to Winterbotham's UK customer base, nationwide, with future opportunity for additional growth over the contract term.
The contract win will see the introduction of 14 new employees, all employed from the local area. It will also reduce Winterbotham's carbon footprint through the Fowler Welch Kent based operation.
It was the ability to provide a truly bespoke service that prompted Winterbotham Darby to select Fowler Welch, as Ian Render, operations manager at Winterbotham Darby, explains: "The Fowler Welch solution simply ticked all the boxes. We run an intensive operation which places high demands on the supply chain. We were looking for a distribution partner who could meet, and surpass, our needs and Fowler Welch stepped up the plate."
