Young’s Seafood appoints Reed Boardall for frozen work

The announcement follows a successful collaboration on Young’s chilled operation over several years and the assistance provided to Young’s Pinneys of Scotland site over the past summer when it was faced with a short notice requirement for third-party storage.

Partnership​

Chris Law, logistics manager for Young’s, said, “This partnership has been slowly developing and Reed Boardall has stepped up every time we have asked them to.​

“We are impressed by their ability to respond and are confident that they will take good care of our foodservice customers and deliver the expected performance this area demands.”​

Howard Gill, md for Reed Boardall’s transport division, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have secured this piece of business which further strengthens our beliefs in our single-site model, enabling us to deliver the service and the agility required in Young's Seafood Limited’s supply chain.”​
