The company currently operates 23 distribution depots
across the country. Corporate Affairs Director Alex Makamure told The Source
that Victoria Falls depot will close at the end of July and direct store
deliveries will be handled from Hwange.
“We periodically review our footprint in response to
improvements in our logistics, the emergence of reliable third party partners
and the prevailing volume throughput at each centre. This review will result in
either closing or opening of certain depots,”
said Makamure.
“We are confident that the wholesalers in Vic Falls have
capacity to service the own collection customers”. He made no mention of the
fate of workers employed at the depot.
The company’s previous rationalisation in 2014 saw 12
depots out of 35 being shut down. – The Source
