Rushlift and Saint Gobain deepen ties10 January 2023
Rushlift is to continue supplying Saint Gobain (UK&I)’s materials handling fleet for three years in Shetland Islands, Isle of Man and Jersey in a £45 million deal.
This deal serves as an extension to an existing 10-year agreement in which Rushlift will also manage more than 2000 mixed-fleet assets across some 850+ manufacturing and merchant sites operated by Saint Gobain (UK&I) brands such as Jewson, JP Corry, British Gypsum and Rencol.
Under the existing contract, Rushlift will support a variety of forklift trucks of different manufacture, along with related industrial equipment – from counterbalance trucks, telehandlers, and reach trucks to loading shovels, powered access platforms and floor cleaning equipment. All vehicles will be regularly serviced under a set maintenance regime, with breakdown response and support.
Ian Berrill, transport & supply chain solutions director for Saint-Gobain (UK&I) said: “Our customer service performance is absolutely vital to the success of our business and, for us, that means having a forklift truck fleet that we know we can depend upon. We need consistently high standards of maintenance and support across every site we run. Over the last ten years, Rushlift has proved to be a reliable partner, maintaining and upgrading our fleet to match our service SLAs and working closely with us to help achieve our environmental targets. With this contract renewal, we have every confidence that Rushlift will continue to deliver the dedicated service and total support that we need to run our business.”
