Description

Tibbett & Britten is a UK-quoted international logistics service provider working under long-term contract for retailers and manufacturers. Our focus is on food & beverage, fashion and other branded consumer merchandise.

Tibbett & Britten has grown by an average of 22% compound per annum for 20 years. In a little over a decade we have developed into the largest distribution business in Canada and Mexico and one of the biggest in the USA. We are the principal distributor of frozen food in Central Europe; the biggest drinks and fresh produce logistics company in France; operator of the largest distribution network in sub-Saharan Africa; a logistics market leader for consumer products in China and Hong Kong; and the largest distributor of clothing and home & personal care products in the UK and Ireland.

So we know a thing or two about managing trucks and warehouses. But what really drives us are our people and technology - the keys to providing world class supply chain solutions. Our IT systems integrate seamlessly with customers' own, and our people understand the potential of technology and are encouraged to deploy it in new and innovative ways.
