Waitrose extends JF Hillebrand contract

Logistics provider JF Hillebrand has been awarded a new three-year contract to manage all wine imports for Waitrose. As a sole strategic partner, the company will provide full supply chain management solutions for its global import trade lanes.

Andrew Shaw, buying manager (wines), Waitrose said: “The JF Hillebrand solution will result in a responsive and robust supply chain which will reduce our stockholding – a critical factor in enabling our network to absorb the tremendous business growth we have planned for the future. By entering this agreement we have established a mutually beneficial partnership with our suppliers and JF Hillebrand and look forward to further developing this in coming years.
