Clipper provides critical support for UK retailers

Clipper delivers goods for major retailers

Leeds-based Clipper said the space, plus associated handling and transportation, will support eight customers’ additional requirements during the current coronavirus pandemic.

Clipper is providing logistics support to both new and existing customers throughout what it described as challenging times. Around 50 per cent of this additional support is to new clients.

Steve Parkin, Clipper's executive chairman, said: “I would like to thank all members of the Clipper team for their continued innovation, dedication and hard work to enable us to rapidly deploy solutions and fulfil gaps in the supply chain for both new and existing customers in a quickly changing environment.”

These additional activities have various lengths of contract duration.

Clipper said it has mobilised its space, people and vehicles to provide a variety of support services.

This includes processing and storage relief, undertaking warehousing and picking for 70 regional stores of a national grocery retailer to support local communities.

Clipper has also developed solutions to fulfil supply chains for other sectors including educational equipment and health foods as well as further developing its relationship with Government agencies.
