• New agreement extends GXO and Co-op's transport operations partnership to over 20 years
• Supporting deliveries to more than 1,000 stores with shared values to create lasting social value in communities nationwide

LONDON, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GXO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: GXO), the world's largest pure-play contract logistics provider, has announced a five-year transport contract expansion with Co-op, one of the world's largest consumer co-operatives, advancing the supply chain partnership into its second decade.

The agreement spans GXO's transport operations at Avonmouth, Andover and Lea Green, supporting deliveries to over 1,000 Co-op UK stores.

"This renewal reflects the brilliant service and operational leadership that our teams deliver every day for one of our longest-standing partners," said Chris Hyde, Managing Director Food and Beverage, GXO UK&I. "Our scale and depth of expertise across the UK&I means that we can bring continuous improvements to Co-op's supply chain. We're proud of what we've built together, and of the positive impact our colleagues continue to make in the communities around the network."

GXO will continue working closely with Co-op to enhance efficiency, service and resilience across its transport network, incorporating best practices and innovative solutions from the company's strong expertise in FMCG operations.

Beyond operational delivery, the partnership also has significant community ties. GXO colleagues across the Co-op transport network have contributed more than 1,500 hours of volunteering and engagement over the past year. GXO teams also raised money for local and national charities, including Barnardo's and the British Heart Foundation, raising thousands of pounds through colleague-led initiatives across the transport network.

Additionally, GXO participates in ongoing collaboration with three Co-op academies through mentoring, employability workshops and site engagement, as well as significant reinvestment through the apprenticeship levy, supporting skills, training and community initiatives across Co-op supported opportunities.

Stuart Rendall, Co-op's Head of Logistics Operations, said: "Extending and deepening our partnership with GXO is an exciting development, ensuring we can continue our shared history of collaboration and innovation into the future. As a convenience retailer, we are focused on running a world class resilient supply and logistics operation to provide our customers with the products they want to buy from our 2,300 stores across the UK. We have successfully worked with GXO over many years to this end, and we are looking forward to the next chapter in our partnership."

The contract extension reflects the partnership's proven success - combining operational excellence with a shared commitment to people, communities and long-term value.
