GXO Logistics and Greene King, the UK’s leading pub company and brewer, have announced a 10-year extension to their long-standing partnership.
The renewal strengthens a relationship spanning more than two decades, with over 700 GXO colleagues ensuring expert delivery of food, drink and equipment to Greene King’s estate of over 2,600 pubs across the UK.
“We’re delighted to extend our partnership with Greene King for another 10 years,” said Chris Hyde, Managing Director – Food and Beverage, GXO UK and Ireland.
“Together, we’ve delivered some amazing projects and leveraged our sector expertise to drive operational efficiencies across the supply chain. I’m particularly proud of our shared commitment to sustainability and the progress we’re making together. I look forward to building on this success over the next decade.”
Vance Fairman-Smith, Group Supply Chain Director at Greene King, said:
“We are pleased to continue our partnership with GXO. It allows us to work together and focus on a long-term, end-to-end strategy across our supply chain for our pubs so we can best support our teams and serve our customers and communities. By bringing all the elements of our supply chain together, we are optimising our supply network and can expect to unlock operational agility, sustainability and reporting benefits to reinvest in the business.”
Under the renewed agreement, GXO consolidates elements of food and drink distribution across England, Scotland and Wales, creating a more flexible and scalable supply chain to meet the dynamic needs of Greene King’s pubs and its customers. GXO continues to strive for operational excellence and currently operates an industry-leading availability of products for every pub in the network.
GXO will leverage its experience in the food and beverage sector and expertise in automation and technology to drive continuous operational improvements.
