• Wincanton Transport has added NAFTA (GB) to its growing client list, with the signing of a five year, £3.25 million distribution contract.
Under the contract, Wincanton will manage the distribution of NAFTA's petroleum products around the UK.
In a similar deal to that negotiated with Amoco last year, Wincanton has taken over the vehicles and drivers at NAPTA's three locations at Grays in Essex, Doncaster and Cardiff.
Wincanton will use 14 drivers and 14 vehicles for the contract, including 12 former NAFTA drivers. Wincanton purchased 23 NAFTA vehicles, mostly Bedfords and Seddon Atkinson, s but Martin Ashby, Wincanton's Commercial Manager, says Wincanton will be using a number of new DAf 2500s for the contract.
NAFTA (GB) has been trading in this country since the forties. The company was originally known as Russian Oil Products, but changed its name about ten years ago. It supplies petrol products to its own chain of petrol stations, to privately owned petrol stations, and to commercial customers.
