Convenience retailer Londis is investing £4 million in its fresh food expansion this year.
The investment means the entire Londis supplier fleet will have fully chilled capacity for the first time.
The retailer aims to deliver a larger fresh range that includes bagged salads. barbecue products, fresh meat, poultry and fish.
Having already invested in new supply chain systems, Londis hopes the new fleet will further maximise fresh flow through speeding up the journey from manufacturer to depot to shop, and ensure that retailers capitalise on shelf life, minimise wastage and manage their fresh offering effectively.
The retailer said: “The multi-million pound, 72-piece fleet offers a sound and ecological investment for Londis and completes the replacement of the 400-strong fleet operated by Musgrave Retail Partners GB for its Londis and Budgens stores.”
