Downton wins £30 million in contracts

Gloucestershire-based haulier CM Downton has picked up business contracts worth £30 million a year, after securing a number of contract extensions and new business wins.

Downton has won new business from spring water producer, Highland Spring, and Mirius, a provider of global hygiene solutions. Both companies have manufacturing or warehousing facilities in the Midlands and required a national distribution solution at short notice, which Downton was able to provide through its national network.

Downton has also secured a number of contract extensions and renewals with long-standing clients including UPM, ROCKWOOL and Hydro.

Duncan Eyre, CM Downton managing director, said: "Downton has a strong reputation in the industry for delivering the goods in a straightforward, no-fuss manner. These contract extensions demonstrate our ability to consistently build long-term relationships by providing services of the highest quality, and our focus on continual improvement. The new business wins are proof of our ability to quickly respond to commercial opportunities."

Chris McGirr, Highland Spring Group logistics manager, said: "Highland Spring recently reviewed its transport operations in the Midlands and selected Downton as the preferred partner due to the swift, detailed responses and flexibility their operation can provide for a fast moving and relatively volatile demand-driven product like water."
