Wincanton announces major contract extension with BAE Systems
Wincanton has extended its framework agreement with BAE Systems for five years.
The contract extension builds on existing services provided by Wincanton for BAE Systems, incorporating supply chain solutions across its air sector and UK shipbuilding operations, extending a 23-year relationship.
Over the course of its relationship, Wincanton and BAE Systems have worked together in partnership to create technology solutions.
