40 million-dollar Woolworths contract


 
Australia’s largest retailer, Woolworths, has awarded a $40 million supply contract to the Glen Cameron Group, a privately-owned transport and logistics company.
 
Camerons will be responsible for the delivery of goods and produce to Woolworths supermarkets and liquor outlets in South Australia for the next five years, starting 18 May.
 
Woolworths operates about 53 supermarkets and 64 free-standing liquor outlets in the region and Glen Cameron Group will manage about 850 store visits each week, delivering more than 10,000 pallets of stock.
 
The contract will be serviced by a management team of five full-time Cameron’s staff and 43 transport workers. Employment opportunities for drivers and support staff will rise during peak delivery times. 
 
Cameron’s managing director Glen Cameron said the Woolworths contract win was a “testament to our team, our fleet and our service offering”.
 
“Woolworths has a requirement for a modern, green and clean fleet,” Mr Cameron said. “Driver safety and our ability to meet demanding delivery schedules were crucial to our contract win.”
 
Glen Cameron launched Camerons in 1975 with a first-year turnover of $160,000. At 22 years old he was the sole employee and his fleet consisted of one, eight-tonne tray, which was owned by a subcontractor.
 
Today the Glen Cameron Group employs 600 people, has a turnover in excess of $115 million, operates a national fleet of more than 520 vehicles and offers its customers a national logistics operation with more than 70,000 square metres of warehouse space.
 
Glen Cameron Group has office locations in all Australian states. The business operates five major divisions: local trucking, couriers, warehousing, third party logistics and interstate transport.
 
In 2006, Glen Cameron Group was awarded a contract to supply Coles supermarkets throughout Victoria and southern New South Wales with frozen and chilled product and has successfully managed this operation to Coles satisfaction.
