TNT Post confirms Centrica contract win
TNT Post, the main challenger to Royal Mail, confirms earlier reports that it has been awarded a contract to handle around 170 million items mail for Centrica, the leading supplier of energy in the United Kingdom. The 2 year contract estimated to be worth over € 35 million (£23 million) annually is another significant milestone for the postal industry.
TNT Post will be handling around 120 million transactional mail items a year and around 50 million direct marketing items. Centrica's transactional mail is generated at their print and mail centres in Northampton and Manchester. Centrica will predominantly be benefiting from TNT Post's Premier Service, a two day time definite service for pre-sorted mail with Royal Mail continuing to carry out the final mile delivery to customers' homes nationwide. The service offers valuable benefits to both Centrica and its customers such as: flexible pick up times, use of tracking systems that enable improved visibility and management and fast and reliable 2 day service.
Nick Wells, CEO TNT Post UK, said: "This is another impressive win in the utility sector for us. We are proud to be working with Centrica and we look forward to a long and successful partnership with them. The utility market is fiercely competitive and Centrica is looking to put itself ahead of the game by choosing a postal supplier that will bring tangible benefits both to its business and its customers. Our advanced technology and premium services offer Centrica a more efficient and cost effective mailing solution, keeping costs to a minimum."
TNT Post is already a popular postal service supplier for the utility sector with major companies such as npower and Thames Water having already switched over to TNT Post. In the UK, TNT Post is Royal Mail's main competitor with a volume of over 1.2 billion items.
Centrica is one of a number of significant contract wins that TNT Post has recently announced including BT, Sainsbury's and T-Mobile.
