Wincanton awarded contract extension by Ikea

Wincanton, a leading supply chain partner for UK business, has been awarded
contract extensions by Ikea to operate its customer distribution centres
(CDCs) in Medway, Kent and Harlow, Essex, for five and two years respectively.
Wincanton will continue to ensure a great service for Ikea's customers across
Greater London and the South-East.

The contract extensions represent continued progress against the Group's
strategic focus on its growth markets, particularly in Digital and
eFulfilment. They also demonstrate Wincanton's ability to capitalise on the
shift in consumer purchasing habits that have accelerated during the course of
the pandemic.

James Wroath, Chief Executive Officer of Wincanton, said: "This is another
important step in our long-standing relationship with Ikea and more evidence
of the positive progress we are making in our Digital and eFulfilment
business. We are proud to have supported Ikea in achieving significant volume
growth in the past year and these extensions reflect both the success of our
partnership and the underlying strength of Wincanton's broad supply chain
capabilities."
