G&W came to Bentley Compton with a dream. A dream to achieve an average 30-minute turnaround time gate-to-gate at all of its UK-based facilities. Following an exhaustive 12-month study to assess the opportunities that existed, Bentley Compton developed a strategy that would address congestion, embrace automation, and position G&W to handle increasing freight volume in the future. In short, positioning G&W’s operations at the forefront of the logistics industry.
A £25million investment plan was pitched, and secured - the largest in G&W’s history. With a proactive and creative approach to collaboration, Bentley Compton was key to the success of this investment.
Playing a critical role in the functionality of systems and the alignment of teams to champion shared goals, not only was this transformational project delivered on time, but under budget and exceeding expectations, and all while navigating a global pandemic.
Working together with the G&W team, Bentley Compton worked to deliver an end-to-end automated logistic solution maximising the efficiency of G&W’s assets, cutting turnaround time in half across 3,500 daily appointments at G&W’s 12 UK-based terminals, significantly reducing carbon emissions and streamlining operations to increase efficiencies across the board.
