National supply chain specialist Nightfreight has been awarded
an exclusive two-year contract with the world's leading exhaust
system and towbar manufacturer Bosal UK.
The two year, seven figure contract will see Willenhall based
Nightfreight managing all outbound delivery of Bosal's full product
range including exhaust systems, catalytic converters and steel
tubing from its Preston site to its aftermarket customers UK
wide.
As Bosal's sole logistics partner for aftermarket products in
the UK, Nightfreight will provide a nationwide six-day, next day
delivery service, as part of its national 'shared user' network of
53 depots. This replaces a previous multiple contractor and
dedicated fleet operation.
Nightfreight expects to deliver over 12,000 products per week
direct to the automotive and tubular steel markets as part of the
new partnership.
Peter Hayden, sales and marketing director of Bosal UK says
Nightfreight offered the most competitive and flexible commercial
package.
"We were very impressed with the way Nightfreight understood our
business and customer base from day one during a very competitive
tender.
"Nightfreight is very proactive in the mix and match delivery
channels they offer, which really suits our ever changing and
growing business requirements.
"We operate in a very demanding environment and it is essential
for us to have a logistics partner which has the flexibility to
adapt to the daily needs of our customer base.
"By joining in partnership with Nightfreight, we're looking to
develop a long-term relationship which we're confident will grow
over the period of time."
Ian Smith, chief executive officer of Nightfreight, said: "We
are proud to count a global player like Bosal among our customer
portfolio and have once again impressed with our on-going
commitment to quality of service. More than this, we have
demonstrated how Nightfreight can support customer growth and
introduce bottom line cost savings.
"We're confident we'll be able to add real value to their
logistics operation and we look forward to a long and successful
partnership where we support Bosal's growth in the UK
marketplace."

channels as either stand alone services or multi configurable
options including single parcel express and non-standard freight,
