NFT, the leading provider of time critical distribution services to the food retail and manufacturing sectors, has secured a two year contract with Manor Fresh Ltd to distribute both their organic and conventional potatoes and vegetables to Marks & Spencer.
The contract will involve NFT transporting around 70,000 trays per week of fresh produce from the Manor Fresh Ltd site at Holbeach to the regional distribution centres of its customer M&S. NFT will be utilising a fleet of temperature controlled vehicles to undertake this operation.
Said David Frankish, Chief Executive of NFT: “Spalding is one of the largest food producing regions in the UK and the contract with Manor Fresh Ltd marks the beginning of our plans to provide highly specialist, time critical distribution services for the many food suppliers in the area.
“Winning the Manor Fresh Produce business is also further testimony to our reputation as a leading provider of distribution services to food suppliers. We are looking forward to helping Manor Fresh Produce further enhance their service to M&S and to offering our services to other suppliers in the region.”
Charlie Stowe, Supply Chain Manager at Manor Fresh Produce, added: “In today’s business climate no one can afford to stand still. Therefore, we recently initiated a review of our distribution arrangements with the primary aim of enhancing our customer service levels and cost efficiencies. We were particularly impressed with NFT’s proactive approach to investment and their focus on service. We are delighted to be their first customer as they expand into the area.”
