1111 AGGREGATE INDUSTRIES IS looking for authorisation to base two vehicles at a new operating centre on the Cambridge Road Industrial Estate in Cambridge.
Since October 2008, TDG has run a fourth party logisti (4PL) operation to manage the road transport operation for Aggregate's building materials division.TDC1 contracts and centrally manages existing hauliers used by Aggregate companies Charcon. Bradstone. Fyfestone and Masterblock from a site in Linby. Nottinghamshire.
A team of about 50 TDG staff procure haulage. plan routes to minimise empty running, and provide web reporting for planners, hauliers and customers.
the transport firm believes the agreement saves Aggregate more than three million road miles per year and cuts its annual CO2 emissions by about 12%. TDG already runs a similar operation in Scunthorpe for steel manufacturer Corns. This involves centrally managing 60 individual Corus production and distribution sites, as well as about 30 hauliers, from the steel giant's Scunthorpe plant.
Earlier this month. TDG's new MD David Bermingham told CM the company would focus its efforts on its 4PL and freight forwarding divisions to achieve future growth.
