Kingspan Insulation has sealed an alliance with TM Logistics by awarding it a further £7 million of work.
TM Logistics, part of Midlands-based Taylors of Martley, has been given a contract extension to 2009 to handle all of the insulation board specialist's national transport needs.
The deal, which dates back to 2001, sees TM Logistics manage a round-the-clock delivery operation with 42 drivers based on site at Kingspan Insulation's 35-acre complex near Pembridge, Herefordshire.
TM Logistics, a £30 million turnover group, expects to deliver up to 400 loads per week nationally of Kingspan's insulation boards.
Now employing almost 400 people at Pembridge, Kingspan Insulation - a division of Kingspan Group, one of the world's leaders in building materials - has doubled in size in the last three years and is looking to grow further.
Managing director Peter Wilson said: "Demand on the industry to reduce emissions is enormous and changes in building regulations have seen huge growth for Kingspan
Insulation. Transport is one of our biggest costs. TML is the right fit with our organisation in terms of style and resources, and are specialists in the bulk product sector."
Grahame Taylor, executive director of TM Logistics, said: "This new contract is a tremendous vote of confidence in the service we provide. It forms part of a long-term growth plan for us to develop our presence in the building materials sector."
TM Logistics employs over 350 staff and operates from a number of company and client owned sites nationally, with a fleet of over 200 vehicles and 300 trailers.
The firm also ranks Rexam, Coca-Cola Enterprises and Hydro Aluminium among its clients. ..SUPL:
