Blakemore Wholesale Distribution has signed a new two-year deal with BP to supply more than 300 forecourts.

The contract, which began in November, will see Blakemore supply branded food and drink products to 320 BP forecourts including 250 M&S Simply Food outlets.

AF Blakemore divisions Blakemore Logistics, Trade Partners and Retail have worked with BP since 2010.

“Blakemore Wholesale Distribution has developed a successful partnership with BP and I am delighted that we have been able to negotiate an even stronger working relationship between our two organisations,” said Blakemore Wholesale Distribution sales director Raj Krishan.

“Over the past six years we have been able to demonstrate a high level of professionalism in supporting BP and have been able to create a valued, collaborative approach to business.”

Blakemore Wholesale Distribution currently services several high-profile accounts including Roadchef, Wickes, Primark and the House of Lords. The wholesaler said it would be announcing further big wins next year.

“We are committed to working closely with our colleagues across the Blakemore infrastructure, to provide bespoke delivered wholesale solutions in a way that our larger competitors are often unable to match,” said Krishan.
