Logistics and supply chain firm Suttons has secured a new contract with multinational oil and gas giant BP.

The Widnes-headquartered company has been named as the exclusive UK distributor of bulk hazardous liquids for the BP Acetyls, which produces around 500k tonnes of products every year.

The agreement will also see an investment in a new fleet of Euro6 vehicles at BP Acetyls’ facility in Saltend, Yorkshire.

Michael Cundy, Suttons Tankers managing director, said: “We are delighted BP Acetyls chose to renew this business with Suttons and we look forward to a continued successful partnership.

“Our track record of providing a flexible, reliable, and safe service was a key factor in their decision and we will continue to focus on delivering a first class service.”

Andrew Williamson, of BP Acetyls Europe, commented: “Suttons has proved itself as a safe and reliable partner delivering a high standard of service.

“Our relationship with Suttons means we have a solid understanding of how our teams can work together to ensure continued success and that a quality product is delivered.”

With its head office in the North West, Suttons operates globally across key business centres in the US, Europe and Southeast Asia.
