Great Bear secures three-year extension for Weetabix transport contract

Great Bear, part of Culina Group, has announced a three-year extension to its transport contract with Weetabix.

Following the initial award in January 2023, Great Bear will continue to provide transport services from Weetabix’s Burton Latimer site through to the end of 2028. This extension reinforces the strong partnership between the two companies and reflects Great Bear’s proven ability to deliver reliable, efficient logistics solutions.

Under the renewed agreement, Great Bear will maintain responsibility for factory clearance from Weetabix production sites to the Burton Latimer warehouse, as well as all secondary distribution across the UK. In addition, Great Bear has secured further transport services from Weetabix’s Deeside operation, further expanding the scope of collaboration.

The Great Bear business development and solutions team, working closely with operational colleagues, has ensured that the tailored transport model continues to meet Weetabix’s evolving needs while maintaining the highest standards of service.

Alastair Isbister, CEO of Great Bear, said:

“This extension is a testament to the strength of our relationship with Weetabix and the dedication of our team. Over the past three years, we’ve consistently delivered exceptional service, achieving a 12-month consecutive on-time performance of 98.7%. This success reflects our commitment to operational excellence and customer-focused solutions.”
