April - Culina Logistics announced an agreement to acquire the supply chain activities of Cert Octavian. The terms of the agreement, including consideration, had not been disclosed.

Culina and Cert Octavian had previously developed strong links through shared facilities at Dudley and Rotherham. These operations were now part of Culina's network and were joined by Cert Octavian warehouses at Hoddesdon, Lutterworth and Middleton.

The Chief Executive Officer of Culina Group Limited, commented: "We are acquiring some excellent contracts, facilities and people. This significantly expands our ambient network and will enable us to drive through synergies and efficiencies that will benefit all our existing customers and allow us to offer an even better service."
