Menzies has secured a major primary distribution deal to collect all daily and regional weekly newspapers printed by news publisher Reach and deliver them to all wholesale distribution locations across the entire UK.
The deal, which will see Menzies deliver both Reach-owned titles and those printed on behalf of third parties, is the first of its kind in the UK.
Greg Michael (pictured), Managing Director of Menzies Distribution, said: “Our strategic focus is on working in real partnership with our Newstrade customers to develop innovative solutions that enhance and protect a sustainable route to market for their product. This significant deal does just that, streamlining the supply chain for publishers and retailers. It allows us to maximise our expertise and resources in providing UK-wide time critical-logistics and demonstrates our commitment to add value to the supply chain at every step of the journey.”
Menzies will start providing the new service from September 2018.
Reach, formerly Trinity Mirror, owns the Daily Mirror, Sunday People, Daily Record and several regional titles.
