Bodmin, UK: Food wholesaler Bidfood has opened a 15,000sq ft depot in Bodmin, Cornwall, in a bid to ease the pressures on its Lee Mill depot in Devon. The company says the new site will cut delivery miles.
Bidfood is using vans initially for online deliveries to complement the road network in Cornwall and North Devon, with the aim of operating HGVS once the company has secured an ‘O’ licence for the site.
Richard Dow, business unit director for Chepstow, Swansea and Lee Mill, said: “As part of our strategy to grow sales and deliver service excellence to our customers, we’re always reviewing our infrastructure and where we can expand the local depot network.
“With that in mind, we recognised the opportunity to improve in the south west and I’m incredibly excited to assemble this new team to provide an even better service to the Devon and Cornwall area.”
