A.F. Blakemore's logistics operation distributes to delivery points across the UK, including to more than 900 SPAR stores.

A delivery fleet of more than 280 vehicles is out on a daily basis, travelling around 25 million miles per year.

Our scheduling function uses a planning tool called Paragon that links into our warehouse management system to schedule routes on a daily basis. Fleet and fridge temperatures are fully tracked using a system called Blue Tree.

We are continuously trying to enhance our efficiency performance in many areas.
