Eddie Stobart has won a £60m ambient transport contract covering the majority of Unilever's manufacturing and distribution activities in the UK.
Under the three-year deal, the logistics company will deliver products from Unilever's UK manufacturing plants to several of the consumer goods giant's distribution centres around the country.
Stobart will also make deliveries
to Unilever customers from those sites.
Andrew Tinkler, Stobart Group chief executive, says: "We are looking forward to building a great working partnership with Unilever by providing a unique full service offering, combined with the best know-how in the industry.
"As well as delivering day-to-day efficiency benefits for Unilever through our distribution system, we believe we can help it meet and even exceed its goals in terms of carbon reduction in the process."
