Wincanton defence team maintains SC21 Gold

Wincanton’s defence team, based in Bicester, has been re-awarded Gold in the 21st Century Supply Chains (SC21) programme at The Achieving Supply Chain Excellence event in Belfast.

Of the 65 companies recognised at the event, Wincanton is the only one to hold the Gold award this year.

Ross Bannerman of Wincanton explains: “Wincanton was originally awarded Gold in October 2016.  The ability to maintain this standard is something we are really proud of. 

“We are now setting the standard in an industry where customers are actively seeking this level of external recognition. It sets us apart.”
