DBL Logistics secures long-term distribution deal

DBL Logistics has secured a long-term, seven-figure deal with a leading UK manufacturer of consumable healthcare products.

The substantial contract will see the Sheffield-based logistics and haulage company establishing itself as the dedicated transport contractor for Robinson Healthcare.

DBL Logistics already transports more than 15,000 pallets annually for Robinson, which manufactures single-use products for medical professionals, pharmacists, distributors, retailers and consumers across the country.

The new deal will continue the successful partnership between the two companies, which began in 2010, and allow DBL Logistics to remain the exclusive distributor of palletised goods for Robinson across mainland UK.

David Clarkson, managing director of DBL Logistics, said: “We have established a long-term relationship with Robinson Healthcare, which has grown to become one of our biggest customers. 

“This latest agreement is an expansion of the partnership and we look forward to helping Robinson continue its growth as a leading national healthcare supplier.

“As a growing business, DBL Logistics is capable of transporting goods to more countries than ever before, boosting UK exports and enhancing the Sheffield City Region’s reputation as a hub for logistics expertise in the UK.”

DBL Logistics warehouses and distributes a range of goods across the UK and to 26 countries around the world.

The company has seen turnover grow to more than £3m in the last year and is currently building a new 33,500sqft warehouse and office building on Tinsley Park Road in Sheffield. The development is scheduled for completion by the end of this year.
