In addition, Gist is renting space within JO Sims’ temperature-controlled warehouse in Spalding to cater for its expanding list of customers in the fresh produce sector.
Darren Crook, operations director, JO Sims, said: “Our fresh fruit business is very seasonal, and traditionally we had clear peaks with gaps. With the addition of warehouse automation, we have more production time and space and can now offer third party services.
Gist and JO Sims have a flexible relationship, where Gist is both a supplier, delivering transport for our fresh fruit, and a customer now they are using warehouse space for more of their customers.”
