UTL
The leading provider of logistics , field services and repair solutions has created a virtuous circle that enables companies to operate world-class environmentally friendly operations
UTL has put recycling and energy efficiency at the forefront of its logistical services and as a result has solidified business relationships with various major firms such as Sky , Vodafone and Sainsbury ’ s .
Its innovative work to create a closed loop in operations has paid dividends in recent months ; culminating in winning the Best Business Partnership at the National Recycling Awards 2015 alongside Sky for its work in providing fully integrated service solutions . Together they beat other finalists including Tesco , Waitrose and Biffa .
Gary Winter , Business Development Director at UTL , said : “ Everything we do at UTL we really mean , and we have that passion to go the extra mile by creating value in what we do for people . I met passionate people here when I first joined , and when everyone is motivated by the same goal we are better positioned to continuously improve .”
Much of this ethos comes from parent company Unipart and the ‘ Unipart Way ’ which is a guiding philosophy to reduce waste or activities which do not add value . Unipart was formed in 1987 to assure the spare parts supply with the demise of British Leyland . Therefore it has a very strong automotive heritage which is why Unipart Logistics division ( UL ) was formed . The UTL division was also created to apply this supply chain expertise to other sectors such as Mobile , Media and Consumer .
Winter added : “ One man ’ s rubbish is another man ’ s treasure . We try to extract maximum
