Our mission statement is...
"...to be the market leader in the provision of time-critical logistics services to the major UK grocery retailers"
When a food item has a short shelf life, it has to get from the factory and into the store in the shortest possible time, so that the consumer is able to enjoy it at its best.
We estimate that there's a one in three chance that the fresh chilled food item you have just purchased from the supermarket will have travelled on an NFT truck at some point in its life.
To illustrate the tight timescales we are working to, think about that freshly made sandwich you just purchased from a leading supermarket. It's possible that your sandwich only came off the production line around 14 hours ago, and since then has been wrapped and boxed, has been collected by NFT and brought into one of our depots, where it has been consolidated with other products and delivered to a regional distribution centre. There, it was 'picked' for that particular store, and subsequently delivered, unpackaged, put onto the shelf, and purchased by you. (Oh, and the distribution cost for getting it to the RDC - the Primary leg of the journey - was only about 2p per sandwich).
When a product is fresh, we want to keep it that way, so our skills lie in finding the most efficient way to get that sandwich from the production line and onto the shelf as quickly as possible.
