Leeds’ Clipper Logistics secures new 8-year contract with Halfords

Clipper Logistics plc, the Leeds-based provider of logistics solutions and e-fulfilment to the retail sector, has signed a new 8-year contract with Halfords.

The company is now contracted to provide additional warehouse fulfilment and ancillary services from its distribution centre at Danes Way, Daventry.

The Daventry distribution centre has been developed as a multi-user facility over the last few months and provides in excess of 325,000 sq ft of capacity. Halfords will be the anchor customer at the site.

Steve Parkin, executive chairman of Clipper, said: “Clipper began its relationship with Halfords last year. I am delighted that we have been able to demonstrate our ability to act proactively as a team and to develop solutions which will make a real difference to the Halfords business.

“Our relationship with Halfords represents a true partnership which we anticipate will continue to evolve. We are delighted to have finalised this long term contract to enable us to support their operations in the UK.”

Richard Street, infrastructure director at Halfords, added: “We are delighted with the partnership to date which has enabled us to consolidate all of our external storage and enhance pre-retail services.

“Working with Clipper will enable us to improve the service we offer customers both in shops and online. Our two other Distribution Centres remain unaffected by this change.”
