“Norbert Dentressangle provides us with a flexible and proven transport solution that enables us to maintain a high level of service to our retailers,” said Vauxhall warehouse operations manager, Peter Durham. 

“This, combined with the range of added value site services, means we will continue to benefit from a reliable and cost-effective parts distribution operation.”

The operation involves Norbert Dentressangle collecting orders from Vauxhall’s parts distribution centre in Luton near London, for onward delivery to retailers overnight via its national shared-user network.

This ensures parts ordered by dealers prior to 18:00 are delivered before dealerships open at 08:00 the following day.
