These profiles describe some of West House Transport's key customers and the services we provide for them.

Avon Cosmetics
We have been a supplier of transport and home delivery services to Avon for 25 years. Our involvement in their distribution has steadily grown and, following our take-over of Avon's Corby depot and the establishment of new depots in East Anglia, Kent and North London we now account for all of their Southern UK distribution. This amounts to nearly 1.25 million orders a year, made up of four million boxes. We maintain an on-line order tracking system to enable Avon to track each order from the moment it leaves their plant to the point of delivery, utilising the latest scanning technology available. For more information see the case study on the link alongside.

Smurfitt Kappa Packaging Limited
WHT have supplied transport services to Smurfitt Kappa (previously known as AssiDoman) for over 15 years now, and in 1992 we won a 5 year contract from their plant in Yate against tough competition. In 1997, 2000 and 2004 this contract was renewed. We have also managed and updated distribution at Smurfitt Kappa's Northampton and Stalybridge plants. For all these contracts WHT placed a management team at each plant to totally integrate with Smurfitt Kappa's own operation. For more information see the case study on the link alongside.

Michelin Tyres Plc
We have distributed Michelin products for 17 years. When Michelin awarded TNT a national contract for their logistics and distribution, our services were retained in the South West peninsular. We now also deliver to the Isle of Wight and the southern M5 Corridor.

Cooper Avon Tyres
We commenced distribution in May 2001 for this long established Melksham-based tyre manufacturer, handling around 400,000 tyres per annum.

With WHT, it's personal...
Regardless of whether the company is a world market leader or a local manufacturing operation, we provide a service which matches our commitment. While the distribution majors may score in terms of sheer scale, our success has been founded on the principle that a medium-sized company such as ours can offer all the skill, facilities, resources and flexibility necessary, but with the very real additional benefit of a truly personal service tailored to your requirements. It really is true to say that we are:

"Large enough to cope but small enough to care"
