DFDS EXPANDS EUROPEAN FLEET WITH FLEXIBLE TRAILER SOLUTIONS FROM KRONE

International freight forwarder and multi-modal specialist DFDS Logistics has once again returned to Krone for a ‘significant number‘ of trailers as part of a major expansion of its European trailer fleet.

Comprising a mixture of Krone Huckepack Profi Liners, Mega Liners, Cool Liners and Box Liner container carriers, the equipment order, says DFDS, reflects the continued and growing demand for DFDS logistics services, while the specification of each trailer is designed to better serve the needs of DFDS customers across numerous industries.

“This is all about choosing the best trailer equipment to match individual customer needs,“ says DFDS Equipment Director, Keith Sutton.  “In particular, the loading flexibility of every Krone trailer enables DFDS to maximise utilisation for our customers while ensuring each consignment is transported and delivered with assured load security.“

Keith further explains that the curtainsided Huckepacks – 200 included in this latest consignment – are designed for integration with both road and rail and thereby provide an efficient transport solution while reducing ‘road miles’. “The trailers fit well with our sustainable multimodal logistics network and help to reduce environmental impact.”

Meanwhile, for high cube automotive applications, the Krone Mega Liners employ a host of flexible loading features, including raise/lower sliding roofs, moveable side posts, full width rear access and Krone’s award winning Multi Safe loading system, unique for its multiple strapping points located every 10cms along each side rave.

With logistics operations spanning virtually every European country, from the tip of Scandinavia to the Mediterranean coast, DFDS Logistics provides an end-to-end forwarding service utilising around 10,000 trailer and container units on 24 ferry routes.

EASTER SUNDAY ROAST JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT CHEAPER: ICELAND DROPS THE PRICES OF ITS VEG TO JUST 1P A PACK ONLINE

This isn’t the first time Iceland has launched an offer like this, the supermarket dropped the prices of its vegetables to 1p last Christmas and following its success alongside the nation feeling the pinch right now, Iceland has reignited the deal to help families get together and enjoy delicious food for less this Easter.

This amazing offer means that shoppers who choose to buy their Easter vegetables at Iceland this year can save as much as 99p per product when compared with other supermarkets*.

There is also ample choice for shoppers, with over 40 vegetable products across fresh and frozen.

To take advantage of the offer, all customers need to do is add their chosen pack of delicious Easter vegetables to their basket when online shopping and enter the code ‘ICE1VEG’ when they checkout to receive their discount.

But be quick about it! The big sale starts today, on Monday 11th April, and lasts right up until Thursday 14th April at 11pm.

All fresh vegetables included in Iceland’s offer will have ‘Best Before’ dates that fall after Easter Sunday to ensure they’re fresh and ready to sit alongside the lamb, potatoes, gravy and all our other Easter roast must-haves.

Richard Walker, Managing Director at Iceland, said: “Our 1p vegetable sale was so popular at Christmas, especially when so many other supermarkets hike up the prices of their roast ingredients, that we decided this was a no-brainer to run it again this Easter.

“If we can help people who are feeling the pinch right now to save a few vital pennies while enjoying the same amazing quality of vegetables, then we’ll have done our job of being the supermarket that shoppers can rely on.”

COMMUNITY SHOP MARKS NINTH STORE AFTER OPENING ITS DOORS IN LEICESTER

Award-winning social supermarket, Community Shop, has opened its ninth store, with hundreds of people coming together to celebrate the opening of the all-new social supermarket in Leicester.

The store will offer a lifeline to families facing the ongoing rise in the cost of living by offering surplus food and household products from major brands and retailers all at deeply discounted prices.

Revenue raised from the in-store sales is re-invested back into the local area through its Community Hub, where members can access personal development support, with sessions including everything from cookery clubs and home budgeting, to interview skills and business courses.

Community Shop Leicester, which will support around 750 members, also features a Community Kitchen that serves delicious low-cost meals, with kids eating free every day, as well as a multi-purpose community space for local people and organisations to hire and use.

The store was opened thanks to the support of several partners including Leicester City Council, Leicester-based food manufacturer, Samworth Brothers and online supermarket, Ocado. The Leicester store is the third Community Shop that Ocado has funded in the last 12 months.

Community Shop membership is free and open to people who live locally, receive welfare support, and are motivated to make a positive change to their lives.

Annually, Community Shop supports over 10,000 members, who make an average saving of £212 per month on food that would otherwise have gone to waste.

Natalie Brown, Head of Community Shop, said: “We’re so excited to open our latest Community Shop and welcome our new members inside for the first time.

“These are incredibly challenging times financially for many families, with many worrying how they’ll manage to afford expensive energy bills and rising food prices, and we’re so pleased that we’re able to offer a helping hand to people in Leicester.”

Community Shop offers more than just deeply discounted food, providing wrap-around support through life-changing personal development programmes that deliver real change for individuals and communities. These help to rebuild lives, develop long-term aspiration change and empowerment in communities and break long-term dependency on food aid.

Jonathan Wiseman, General Counsel and Chief People Officer at Ocado Retail said: “We’re proud to be supporting the opening of another Community Shop – the third store Ocado has funded over the past 12-months – this time in the city of Leicester. We look forward to supporting future openings and continuing to contribute surplus food and donations that play a key part in Community Shop’s mission to solve food poverty.”

Community Shop is part of the UK’s leading surplus redistribution organisation, Company Shop Group, which runs 15 redistribution superstores including Company Shop Leicester on Leicester Business Park.
