Bibby Distribution was awarded the Burgess Pet Care Distribution Contract in 2008. The Contract operates from the production plant at Pollington near Goole and the solution comprises a combination of semi-dedicated and networked distribution which is both efficient and cost effective.  The task was to provide Burgess with a solution that provides a next day delivery service whilst reducing the instances of product damage to an absolute minimum; the quality and high standard of operations at the Bibby Network sites ensured this was achieved.

Current situation

Bibby Distribution employs on-site personnel that integrate very closely with the Burgess Pet Care team.  The close relationship focuses on removing costs from the logistics operation and coordinates production, stock management and delivery scheduling into one smooth, efficient and cost effective process. The collection of inbound raw material brings further synergies to the Bibby fleet and plays a great part in reducing empty running miles and reducing CO2 emissions.
