The pork pie and scotch egg brand leader, Pork Farms, have
renewed their contract with multi temperature supply chain
specialist, Oakland International, increasing product volume in
excess of 30,000 case per week.
Working closely with Pork Farms, Oakland's Midlands's depot is
geared to working to short order lead times on inbound product to
help maximise shelf-life for end retailers, as well as providing a
dedicated in-house resource to ensure the smooth execution of all
orders and stock movement.
Oakland International's Customer Services Manager, Lynsey
McIntosh, stated: "Pork Farms produce high quality chilled savoury
pastry products and we are delighted they have again chosen Oakland
International as their preferred impulse supply chain partner."
Supporting delivery of chilled savoury pastry product throughout
mainland UK, Oakland will continue to support volume growth as Pork
Farms continues to build on existing business with wholesalers and
independents to maintain easy retailer access, with Oakland's
efficient tried and tested business model helping Pork Farms to
reduce their supply chain carbon footprint, utilising single
vehicle usage to replace multiple daily deliveries which previously
came direct from a number of Pork Farm depots.
Pork Farm's Head of Marketing commented: "We have a clear
strategy to build a substantial impulse business building on the
quality and positioning of our branded products. We needed a supply
chain partner who could manage this complex route to market thereby
allowing our own teams to focus on building the brand and
ultimately, therefore, sales; Oakland is an ideal partner to help
us achieve our strategic aims."
Pork Farms products are stocked by all multiples, as well as
Londis, Spar, Palmer & Harvey, Nisa and also a number of
independent cash and carry and wholesalers.
