Hutchinson Transport has secured an additional UK distribution contract with Univar Solutions after its performance on an existing agreement gave the chemical distributor confidence to place further work with the family-owned operator.
The new contract will see Hutchinson transport solvents from Univar’s Cadishead facility to customers across the UK.
It builds on an established relationship under which Hutchinson already provides nationwide distribution for a range of Univar speciality chemical products.
The additional award expands Hutchinson’s role with Univar into UK solvent distribution and provides further evidence of its ability to support chemical manufacturers and distributors that require responsive planning, consistent communication and firm operational control.
Mark Woodworth, transport director at Univar Solutions, said: “Hutchinson has consistently delivered the level of service we need from a specialist transport partner.
“The team is responsive, keeps us informed and takes ownership when requirements change or challenges arise. That gives us confidence that issues will be dealt with quickly and with minimal disruption to our customers.
“Its performance under the existing contract was a key factor in our decision to award this additional work and we look forward to continuing to develop the relationship.”
Rhys Hutchinson, managing director of Hutchinson Transport, said: “There is no stronger endorsement than a customer seeing how you perform and then trusting you with more of its business.
“Our relationship with Univar has been built through the day-to-day service delivered by our drivers, planners and operational team. We keep customers informed, respond quickly and take responsibility for the transport work entrusted to us.
“Nathan and I remain closely involved in the business, which means customers can get decisions quickly and know that the commitments made to them are backed directly by the owners of the business.”
