Morrisons has announced a major shake-up in its logistics operations. In a March 16 message to managers, the supermarket giant revealed its contract has ended, with all transport operations in Stockton, Wakefield, Gadbrook, and Willow Green set to switch to Eddie Stobart, part of the Culina Group.
However, the planning teams at these sites will return to Morrisons control.

Support for Staff Transfers Underway
Morrisons assured staff they will support the TUPE process alongside Eddie Stobart and Wincanton for transport and planning teams, ensuring smooth employee transfers during the transition.
