European supply chain specialist Wincanton has won a three-year contract with electronics retailer Comet on its National Transport Network.
Wincanton will take over Comet's transport operations from its Skelmersdale, Corby, Westbury, Harlow and Bellshill bases - it has been running the Harlow and Westbury sites in partnership with Comet for the past six years.
As part of the deal, 150 Comet staff will transfer to Wincanton from 1 July. A Wincanton spokesman says: "No jobs
are being lost in the process if anything, it may create new jobs."
