The CERT Group unveils new drinks logistics brand
June 1st 2006

The CERT Group has created the CERT drinks network as part of its plans to become the dominant provider of warehousing, transport management and consolidated delivery services in the off-trade drinks sector.

The CERT drinks network will combine the company's existing warehousing and hub operations in Leicester; its established transport network, which comprises some 700 vehicles and provides nationwide coverage; and a new 235,000ft2 stockholding facility in Lutterworth, which will provide additional storage for approximately 23,000 pallets.

The Lutterworth location, which boasts 19 dock levellers and a mezzanine floor area spanning 22,000ft2 for enhanced reworking services, will also become the network's hub operation from mid 2006.

The CERT drinks network will be managed by Richard Caine, currently the operations director for the existing Leicester-based sites.

Says Jeff Stanton, Chief Executive of the CERT Group: "We have built up an extremely strong reputation in the drinks sector over the last 20 years and our specialist approach to drinks logistics has proved to be a winning formula as we continue to win major contracts from leading brands, including most recently Red Bull."
