GXO Logistics, Inc., which happens to be the largest pure-play contract logistics provider in the world, has announced a 5-year extension to transport deal with Co op, one of the largest consumer co-operatives in the world, taking the supply chain partnership into its 2nd decade.
The 5-year extension to transport deal with Co op includes GXO transport services at Avonmouth and Andover as well as Lea Green, facilitating deliveries to more than 1,000 Co op UK stores.
According to the managing director of food and beverage, GXO UK&I, Chris Hyde, “This renewal reflects the brilliant service and operational leadership that our teams deliver every day for one of our longest-standing partners. Our scale and depth of expertise across the UK&I means that we can bring continuous improvements to Co-op’s supply chain. We’re proud of what we’ve built together and of the positive impact our colleagues continue to make in the communities around the network.”
GXO will collaborate closely with Co-op in driving efficiency, service, and resilience throughout its transport network, including best practices as well as innovative solutions from the robust expertise of the company in FMCG operations.
The collaboration also has positive community links outside of operational delivery. In 2025, GXO colleagues throughout the Co op transport network have volunteered or engaged for over 1,500 hours. GXO teams also generated funds for local and national charitable organizations such as Barnardo’s and the British Heart Foundation, with thousands of pounds contributed via colleague-led campaigns spanning the transport infrastructure.
GXO continues working in partnership with three Co op academies by means of mentorship, employability seminars, site participation, and substantial reinvestment through the standard apprenticeship levy, promoting skills, education, and community projects across all Co op supported possibilities.
The Head of Logistics Operations at Co-op, Stuart Rendall, said, “Extending and deepening our partnership with GXO is an exciting development, ensuring we can continue our shared history of collaboration and innovation into the future. As a convenience retailer, we are focused on running a world-class resilient supply and logistics operation to provide our customers with the products they want to buy from our 2,300 stores across the UK. We have successfully worked with GXO over many years to this end, and we are looking forward to the next chapter in our partnership.”
The contract renewal is a testament to the partnership’s proven success – integrating superior operational performance with a common dedication to individuals, communities, and long-term value.
