• Newspaper distributor TNT Newsfast has clinched a major long-term contract with BBC Frontline, the newly-formed company responsible for transporting EMAP, Haymarket and BBC consumer publications.
Existing vehicles, ranging from 50 to 150 a day, will be used on the deal, which covers over 100 magazine titles. The trucks will operate out of the division's 12 UK depots.
Contracts with existing hauliers doing work for BBC Frontline will not be renewed, so that TNT Newsfast will become its sold UK carrier.
However, TNT New sfast says it already did a lot of haulage for the BBC. Longstone of London which did six years work for the BBC and Kings Langley-based E J Masters which did two, say they will not be too badly affected by the loss of work.
