Media and entertainment company Sky has extended its contract with supply chain partner Unipart for another three years.
The partnership between the two companies goes back to 2004, combining for a set top box fulfilment operation. Since then, Unipart has supported Sky with the launch of Sky Mobile in 2017, the expansion of Sky Broadband, and the removal of all single-use plastic from Sky’s supply chain in 2020.
With the new contract running until 2027, Unipart says it will ‘continue to deliver a range of services and solutions pivotal to the success of Sky’s customer propositions, including planning and supply chain management, logistics and transportation, circular economy services, and improvement technologies’.
Mike Bristow, Unipart managing director for UK logistics and transport, commented: “This extension reflects the strength of our partnership with Sky, and the immense trust placed in Unipart. We are proud to have played such a key role in Sky’s success over the last 20 years, and will continue to grow this partnership with a wide range of supply chain performance improvement solutions.
“Our partnership is built on the shared values of innovation, quality and exceptional service, so I look forward to another three years of success for Sky and its many customers.”
Darren Leigh, Unipart CEO, added: “Building long-term strategic partnerships is a vital aspect of our strategy, and crucial to ensuring the continued growth and success of Unipart and its customers.
“In this ever-changing market, we remain focused on anticipating future needs and developing supply chain performance improvement services for Sky that enhance efficiency, sustainability, and customer experience.”
