Bibby Distribution Limited, the UK’s leading independent and family owned logistics company are delighted to announce their newly formed relationship with Burgess Pet Care. Bibby Distribution has been awarded a three year National Distribution contract to deliver over 35,000 pallets per year to a mixture of wholesale and retail outlets throughout the UK. This new Contract is based at Pollington near Goole but is controlled through Bibby personnel who are now based on site and the operation is tightly linked into the Bibby Pallet Network based out of Elland, West Yorkshire. Gary Sharp, Divisional Director for both Elland and the Pallet Network commented “Burgess Pet Care is a family business that has over 300 years’ experience dedicated to the production of nutritious food throughout the UK and the Bibby Line Group are a family owned Company that has been trading for over 200 years. Our ethics and cultural fit is perfect.” “With Bibby personnel based on site we can work closely with Burgess staff to drive down their costs and improve on our own internal synergies. A close working partnership has already been formed between the two parties, and moving forward I can see this relationship being a long and successful one”. The contract had a phased hand over during July and was fully operational from 1st August 2008. Paul Miley, Managing Director of Burgess Pet Care said “However good our products at Burgess Pet Care, it is meaningless unless our customer service is excellent. With the strong growth that Burgess is experiencing, our new partnership with Bibby gives me confidence that we can meet this rising demand with industry leading service standards. We are already impressed with the smooth handover and the dedication of Bibby personnel on site. I look forward to a long and successful relationship.”
