Eddie Stobart has completed its first goods movements under a new contract with Tesco.
The £25 million per annum distribution contract started with the first shipment being taken from a new 528,000 square-foot distribution centre in Widnes.
Tesco's new chilled distribution sight is part of the Mersey Multimodal Gateway, a brown-field site development undertaken by Stobart Group, in partnership with Halton Borough Council.
Nearing its second phase, the project will created up to 5,000 jobs when completed.
The Mersey Multimodal Gateway is a strategically located logistics hub developed by Stobart Group, which is served by a strong road network, deep-sea port and railhead.
HRH Prince Andrew, The Duke of York, and also the UK's Special Representative for International Trade and Investment, visited the site last month and referred to it as "a very refreshing enterprise" for the region during a tour of the facility hosted by Stobart Group and Halton Borough Council.
