Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Bottle manufacturer Rockware Glass has reorganised its UK distribution by reducing the number of contractors used for its multi-millionpound logistics operation.

Swift UK and WH Malcolm are the major beneficiaries; others, including Eddie Stobart, are losing some work.

The Rockware business is thought to involve more than 50 loads a day including deliveries from factories to warehouses and just-in-time delivery to customers. Rockware, which is owned by BTR, retains some of its warehouses.

Glasgow-based WI-1 Malcolm, which has the bulk of Rockware's Scottish work, has handled work for Rockware for 20 years—but Swift is a relative newcomer which is believed to have taken on some work for Rockware last year.
