Liam Murnaghan and the team at Backline Logistics, Leighton Buzzard branch are celebrating their one-year anniversary partnering with Whistl by becoming an approved supplier for M&S.

The contract with M&S, which runs until January 2022, will see Backline supplying tractor units to M&S’ existing fleet of refrigerated trailers. They will be collecting goods from a regional hub and delivering them to national distribution centres.

“We’re already working with some of the largest supermarket chains in the UK, so adding M&S to our roster is a proud moment for all of us,” said Liam, (insert job title) at Backline Leighton Buzzard.

“As well as experiencing our own growth over the past 12 months, it feels good to play a part in the growth of other prolific brands who have also had to adapt to the challenges we’ve all had to face.”

The past 15 months have been tough for many industries, including the haulage industry, but despite the obstacles and pitfalls that we’ve faced, Backline Logistics is going from strength to strength.

Speaking of their continued success, Liam said: “Despite the fact we’re still feeling the effects of Covid-19, in terms of recruiting drivers and upgrading our fleet of vehicles, it hasn’t affected our growth. In fact, we’re continuing to attract high profile brands with our service proposition and winning contracts to supply them with general haulage.”

The contract with Whistl, which started in April 2020 sees Backline Logistics distributing goods throughout the whole of the South East of England.

Supplying 10 vehicles per day to distribute goods to Whistl’s main distribution centre in Bedford, as well as taking on additional work on the weekend, whenever it’s needed, further enhancing the relationship between the two brands.

Due to the growth spurt of Backline Logistics, the team is currently looking to recruit more full time drivers, to continue to expand the business and become the go-to option for other national brands looking for exceptional performance, delivery and reliability.
