Collects beer, wine and spirits from suppliers and delivers into DC

DSV Road has won a two year contract to transport all Marks & Spencer’s beer, wine and spirits from its UK suppliers to the M&S distribution centre in Daventry. Using a combination of dedicated and network vehicles, DSV Road will collect the beer, wine and spirits from suppliers throughout the UK and deliver into the retailer’s DC in one-hour time slots.

M&S were impressed by DSV’s logistics experience and IT solutions, together with the determination shown by the logistics service provider to find the right, cost-effective solution for the retailer’s precise requirements.

DSV has designed the collection routes to minimise road miles as much as possible. Additionally, all of its vehicles meet the highest emissions standards and all drivers are SAFED trained to reduce fuel consumption.
