Jarrolds in Norwich unveils new delivery vans for Christmas

Jarrolds' six new delivery vans decked out in the store's branding have been spotted around Norfolk. 

This comes as part of the brand's expansion into a bigger warehouse in Bessemer Road, with plans recently approved by Norwich City Council for a click-and-collect hub too.

"It’s a further sign of our commitment to Norwich and Norfolk and that Jarrolds is a brand on the move.

"And that customer service is now something we can offer to other Norfolk businesses too, with Jarrold Logistics providing high-quality logistics services, including delivery, warehousing and fulfilment, from a local, trusted name."

The directors decided to retire last year, and a deal was made that saw RDM’s 20 specialist logistics staff move over to the Jarrolds team to create the Jarrolds Logistics division.

Local Norfolk businesses can also make use of the new logistics service (Image: Jarrold Group) This new delivery service is a first for the Jarrold Group and has enabled the company to take control of its own home deliveries and start offering a logistics service to other Norfolk-based businesses and brands.

Since launching, it has been selected as the home delivery partner for well-known local brands including Ben Burgess, Barsham Brewery, Chet Valley Vineyard, Delta Fire and Urban Jungle.
