from REPA’s in-depth local market knowledge and their logistical expertise across Europe. Alex and his team are outstanding, and we look forward to driving future global growth together.” Mr Whitehouse said: “We


are delighted to announce this exciting new chapter. Although we will continue to operate independently, it will allow us to draw on the strengths of both organisations and focus on a higher level of service to our customers and supplier


relationships. Over time, we will share best practices through accelerated technology and innovation, to deliver the benefits to our customers, suppliers, and manufacturer partnerships.”
