GXO Logistics and Co-op Extend Transport Partnership with New Five-Year Agreement

On June 30, 2026, GXO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: GXO), the world’s largest pure-play contract logistics provider, announced a significant expansion of its transport partnership with Co-op, one of the largest consumer co-operatives globally. This new five-year agreement marks a continued collaboration that has flourished for nearly a decade, advancing the operational capabilities of both organizations and reaffirming their commitment to delivering exceptional service.

The newly signed agreement will bolster GXO’s transport operations across key locations in Avonmouth, Andover, and Lea Green. This enhancement is crucial for supporting deliveries to over 1,000 Co-op stores throughout the UK. Chris Hyde, Managing Director of Food and Beverage at GXO UK&I, emphasized the importance of this renewal, stating, “This renewal reflects the brilliant service and operational leadership that our teams deliver every day for one of our longest-standing partners.”

Hyde further elaborated on the significance of the partnership, noting that GXO's extensive expertise in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector will facilitate continuous improvements in Co-op’s supply chain efficiency, service quality, and overall resilience.

Beyond operational efficiency, the GXO and Co-op partnership is deeply rooted in community engagement. Over the past year, GXO colleagues involved in the Co-op transport network have dedicated more than 1,500 hours to volunteering initiatives. These efforts have included fundraising for various local and national charities, such as Barnardo’s and the British Heart Foundation, resulting in thousands of pounds raised through employee-led initiatives.

Additionally, GXO is actively contributing to community development by collaborating with three Co-op academies, providing mentoring, employability workshops, and engagement opportunities. The company is also committed to reinvesting through the apprenticeship levy, further supporting skills training and community initiatives.

Stuart Rendall, Co-op’s Head of Logistics Operations, expressed enthusiasm about the extended partnership, stating, “Extending and deepening our partnership with GXO is an exciting development, ensuring we can continue our shared history of collaboration and innovation into the future.” He emphasized Co-op’s commitment to maintaining a world-class supply chain and logistics operation to meet customer demands across its 2,300 stores in the UK.

The contract extension is a testament to the proven success of the partnership, which has consistently combined operational excellence with a shared commitment to people and communities, thereby creating long-term value.
