UK rental company Nationwide Platforms has agreed a partnership contract with WS Specialist Logistics for its transport operations across the North of England and Scotland. The agreement will come into force during the fourth quarter.
The agreement will see Nationwide Platforms' existing HGV delivery fleet and drivers from nine of its depots across the two regions transfer to WS Specialist Logistics. The vehicles will operate under dual branding and continue running from the Nationwide Platforms locations.
WS Specialist Logistics will provide dedicated fleet management and driver support, while Nationwide Platforms will continue to oversee the full end to end order management process internally. Haulage operations in remaining regions will continue to be managed internally by Nationwide Platforms.
Nationwide Platforms UK chief operating officer Dan Smith said: "This new partnership with WS Specialist Logistics is a logical step for Nationwide Platforms. It allows us to invest more in our core business and prioritise customer needs as we enter a period of anticipated growth. WS Specialist Logistics' experience, infrastructure and track record in our sector make them an ideal logistics partner for this next phase of our development."
WS Specialist chief executive Nigel McMullan added: "Our team is excited to bring our expertise in specialist haulage to support Nationwide Platforms' operations in the North and Scotland. We look forward to building a successful long term relationship, delivering great service and supporting their future growth."
