Partners

In many areas of our business we work closely with suppliers in a true spirit of partnership to deliver the best solutions for our customers.

Transport

As a business we recognise that in order to provide cost effective and sustainable logistics solutions there is little point trying to cover the whole of the UK with a fleet of our own dedicated vehicles.

We believe that utilising the assets and local knowledge of those we have strong relationships with can only enhance our offering in respect of cost, service and the environmental impact.

We have long established operating relationships, many that go back over 15 years. We only work with organisations that, like us, deliver on their promises, offer a quality service backed by reliability. We’ll choose specialists in their field (either geographically or by industry sector) as we find this approach means that our customers get the most appropriate solution each time.

Systems

Technology infrastructure is critically important to Great Bear, underpinning our ability to deliver a fast, accurate, flexible and highly cost –efficient service. At the heart of that infrastructure is Autostore, one of Europe’s leading enterprise warehouse management and control solutions developed by Central Systems and Automation.

Great Bear and Central Systems and Automation combine to offer a package of credibility, performance, functionality and price that has helped put Great Bear on a performance par with larger 3PLs. The relationship proves how complementary businesses can work together to add a level of value to the customer.

The relationship between the two businesses is long standing and Great Bear now use Autostore across several of it’s distribution centres for blue chip clients like Cadbury, Premier Foods and Mars.
