Working collaboratively over the past two years, Wincanton and Primark have set new standards for transport operations, delivering operational excellence, efficiencies, and a structure to support further growth.

Wincanton optimised over 50,000 deliveries in its first year of operation, achieving a 15.6% reduction in cost per carton ensuring Primark customers continue to experience high availability of products across its 191 stores in the UK.

Wincanton has also removed approximately 2.5 million road kilometres, reducing carbon emissions across the transport operation by 1,657 tonnes per year.

This people-led approach is backed by industry leading innovation, increasing operational flexibility, and delivering best-in-class health and safety for colleagues across the operation.

Wincanton has been the official transport services partner for international fashion retailer Primark since 2022.

It chose Wincanton to be its official transport services partner in the UK because its size and expertise matched the growing demand of Primark and its customers.
