TNT Logistics to double-shift Disney Store, Nissan vehicles May 19, 2006
The Disney Store, the retail arm of media conglomerate The Walt Disney Company, has awarded TNT Logistics its UK distribution contract – and TNT is utilizing vehicles assigned to another customer to benefit both of its clients.
The TNT liveried vehicles which are used to deliver Nissan Renault spare parts to 450 dealerships throughout the UK at night will also be utilized to deliver merchandise to the 59 Disney stores in the UK during the day.
“Both clients are based at Magna Park in the Midlands and by maximizing the use of the vehicles, we are reducing costs for everyone,” said Rob McWhirter, managing director of business development for TNT Logistics UK. “We have worked with Nissan for more than 14 years and, as with all our clients, we continuously seek ways to improve both efficiency and service levels for them.”
For the Disney Store, TNT Logistics will make about 120 deliveries a week from January to October and then double that number in the run-up to Christmas. There are more than 4,500 product lines, delivered in roll cages, including soft toys, stationery, dress-up clothing and DVDs.
The operation, previously in-house, is run out of The Disney Store's European distribution center at Magna Park, where stock is also held for the company's other retail outlets throughout the rest of Europe.
“The operation provides significant service and cost benefits to The Disney Store,” said Nick Snelson, director of distribution operations for the retailer.
