Menzies Distribution Solutions has extended their sole supplier agreement with Briggs Equipment, ensuring fleet efficiency for another five years.
Menzies is one of the UK’s leading logistics providers, offering tailored contract logistics, warehousing, and distribution services, with business requirements that demand operational efficiency and flexibility to support such fast-paced industry sectors.
Their long-standing relationship with Briggs Equipment has been a key driver in them being able to maintain a high quality fleet of materials handling equipment to keep business moving.
Over the years, the partnership has undergone two formal renewal programmes, resulting in a recent sole supplier agreement extension.
A partnership of flexibility and openness offers key to success
Adam Purshall, Menzies Fleet Procurement & Operational Systems Director, praised the partnership with Briggs:
“The flexibility and openness of our relationship with Briggs have been key to our success. We’ve been able to react quickly to customer requirements, which is crucial in the fast-moving logistics and retail sectors we serve.”
He added,
“Having long-term Account Managers like Gary [Shaw] and Laura [Taylor] has contributed significantly to the continuity and success of our collaboration. Their involvement has ensured we stay aligned in terms of goals and operations.”
Alignment in safety priorities has led to a mutual understanding over fleet requirements and expectations. Having shared business values drives a partnership of trust, understanding and continuity. With a track record of stability and operational success, the renewal process was seamless.
It is a relationship that’s worked and is testament to the fact that we’ve done another five-year renewal, which was the right decision for the business. Ultimately, given the partnership and where we are in terms of operational performance, it made it a fairly simple decision.”
Menzies now operates a diverse fleet of over 150 assets, including Yale pallet trucks, articulated forklifts, internal combustion and electric counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, and low-level order pickers. The fleet also features narrow aisle forklifts, battery change units, aerial lifts, and specialised attachments. This versatile equipment ensures efficient material handling, optimised space utilisation, and operational flexibility across various environments.
