Sipcam Home & Garden announces new logistics partnership
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

Sipcam Home & Garden has announced a major step forward in its UK growth plans with the appointment of Walkers Transport as its new national logistics partner. This partnership marks a significant investment in strengthening supply-chain performance and enhancing service levels for retailers across the country.

 

Known for their family-safe gardening products, Sipcam Home & Garden continues to expand its portfolio of innovative brands. The move to partner with Walkers Transport, an established logistics specialist based in Leeds, will enable faster delivery, more reliable, and more flexible distribution to retail customers nationwide. This strategic move is designed to support the company’s long-term ambition to scale its eco-friendly products, improve operational efficiency, and provide an even better experience for stockists.

 

 

The bolstered distribution capabilities will support the recently assorted 2026 range. This includes brands such as Fito, GET OFF, retail partner Block Blitz and flagship award-winning brand ecofective®. This portfolio provides an innovative suite of products across plant care, houseplants, pet solutions, and outdoor cleaning, strengthening its position as one of the UK’s most forward-thinking home and garden suppliers. 

 

Both Sipcam Home & Garden and Walkers Transport are delighted about the new partnership. With shared values and a joint passion for greener, more sustainable ways of working, the two teams are perfectly aligned. It’s a collaboration built on energy, ambition, and a clear vision for growth that will drive exciting progress for both businesses. 

 

Walkers Transport continues to invest heavily in sustainability initiatives, including a modern fleet operating to the latest Euro emissions standards and the transition of its company car fleet towards electric and hybrid vehicles. Across its sites, the business operates a zero-to-landfill approach, supported by segregated waste streams and responsible recycling processes. Its vehicle wash systems also utilise interceptor tanks to ensure runoff is safely captured and managed.

 

 

Nigel Thompson, Head of Sales & Marketing at Sipcam Home & Garden, said: "The partnership with Walkers Transport is a major milestone for our business. Their expertise, reliability, and forward-thinking approach will help us elevate our service to retailers and support the continued growth of our brands across the UK."

 

Chris Burley, Commercial Director at Walkers Transport, added: "Sustainability is a key focus for us at Walkers Transport, and it plays an important role in every new partnership we build. As an ISO 14001 accredited business, we are committed to continual environmental improvement. As Sipcam Home & Gardens storage and transport partner, we’re proud to be supporting their sustainability ambitions and contributing to a more responsible supply chain through this partnership."
