Langdons
We are a Logistics Service Provider (LSP) specialising in
controlled temperature operations. Frozen and chilled palletised foods
account for over 99% of approximately 15,000 pallets per week passing
through our operations. We offer collections from factories (or other
cold storage locations), frozen or chilled storage (if required) and
final delivery down to a one pallet minimum anywhere in the UK and
Ireland which is accessible by LGVs.
The business comprises two main divisions.
ChillNet
This is the name for our service delivering to Wholesalers, Food
Service Depots and Manufacturing locations. Typically, consignments of
just one or two pallets of frozen or chilled food products are
collected on Day 1 and delivered Day 2 anywhere in the UK mainland -
Add one day for Ireland (north and south) and Scotland. NB Next day is
on a five day week basis, some restrictions apply.
This is achieved by networking Langdons depots in Taunton, Luton,
Peterborough, Redditch and Liverpool as well as partner depots in
Dover, Newcastle, Glasgow, Moy (Northern Ireland) and Limerick (Eire).
Most of these depots are connected directly with each other overnight
using dual temperature, 26 pallet capacity articulated vehicles.
The food industry is constantly trying to reduce inventory levels in
the supply chain. For those companies operating in the non major
multiple retail sector, CHILLNET provides the solution – as over 1200
customers can testify.
RDC Deliveries
Our modern Bridgwater depot is the hub for our chilled service to
major multiple retailer Regional Distribution Centres (RDCs)
throughout the UK. From this site there are daily departures seven
days per week going to most of the RDCs. Orders received as late as
16.00 can be picked and despatched overnight and be on shelf the next
day thereby meeting the exacting demands of the UK major multiple
retailers.
