Global logistics provider, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has established a fashion logistics contract with clothing and accessories chain Lakeland, transporting its handbags, luggage and boxed garments from India to the UK. The business was awarded to Hellmann recently and combines a mixture of the company's fashion logistics services, encompassing both ocean and air freight.

Lakeland is a privately owned family business based in Ambleside, Cumbria with seventeen stores nationwide. Jane Marshall, Logistics Manager at Lakeland commented: "Personal service is fundamental within our company, from the stores to our general business. We have previously worked with Hellmann domestically, and our Indian factory is in close proximity to its office in Kolkata. Lakeland maintains a personal relationship with Hellmann, which we feel guarantees an excellent level of service"

Andreas Lohmeier, Director of Sales and Development at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics UK concluded: "Hellmann is delighted to have reached this agreement with Lakeland, and we are pleased that our focus on personal service has helped us to achieve this success. Both Hellmann and Lakeland are family run businesses, and our similar attitudes and philosophies play a key part in our successful business partnership; a partnership I am confident will continue well into the future."
