Wincanton, a leading provider of supply chain solutions in the UK and Ireland, has appointed UK retreader Bandvulc as its tyre supply and tyre maintenance provider following an extensive tender process. Bandvulc will supply tyres to Wincanton’s vehicles across the country with bespoke operational considerations and policy options to meet the various needs of its specific fleet operations.
Bandvulc Plus+ will manage the operations, inclusive of all transactions 24/7, administration support and bespoke data reporting. The new tyre policy selected by Bandvulc Plus+ is Hankook tyres that are now firmly established as one of the world’s leading tyre brands and now the largest supplier in the UK.
Phil West, Commercial Director at Bandvulc commented: “Wincanton has long remained a target client of ours and we are absolutely delighted to be awarded such a prestigious contract. It is testament to our staff and our consistency in delivery and response to everything that we do that has enabled this success. The agreement will see Bandvulc Plus+ utilise its extensive network of service agents throughout the UK including, of course, our in-house arm, Tyre Maintenance.”
Chris Kingshott, Wincanton’s managing director of manufacturing commented: “We are dedicated to providing industry-leading service to our wide range of customers by improving the efficiencies of their supply chain and reducing their environmental impact.”
“Our partnership with Bandvulc will provide better tyre management, providing us with greater control from production through to waste. Bandvulc’s commitment to develop and innovate is refreshing and we look forward to a long term relationship into the future.”
Wincanton operates 4,000 vehicles across 200 sites in the UK and Ireland.
