Suttons Announce Exit From British Sugar Contract

UK Road Tankers specialist, Suttons Tankers has announced that it will not be seeking to renew its current contract for the supply of bulk sugar products with British Sugar Plc when the current contract expires later this year.

This decision will bring to an end a 8 year relationship between the two companies and this announcement comes following a review of Suttons UK activities and reflects the company’s desire to focus on its core business in  the hazardous chemicals, gases and fuels sectors.

This decision follows Suttons acquisition of Imperial Tankers in September 2014 which increased the Suttons ADR network fleet to in excess of 700 road tankers.

Michael Cundy, Suttons Tankers managing director said:

‘’We have valued the relationship with British Sugar over the last 8 years, it nevertheless serves in the best interests of the company to have a clear focus on developing our core activities in the hazardous chemicals, gases and fuels sectors.  We have agreed to continue beyond the end of the contract to ensure British Sugar have time to find a suitable replacement.’’
