Travis Perkins buys tile retailer
Builders' merchant Travis Perkins has bought tile retailer Tile It All for an undisclosed sum.
The business, which trades from 16 outlets mainly in the North-east of England and Scotland, earned underlying profits of 1.3 million for the year to 30 April 2007.
Northampton-based Travis now has 67 tile stores across the country.
Meanwhile, hotel and restaurant group Whitbread has agreed a five-year deal to outsource its food logistics operations to Kuehne and Nagel.
It will involve the phased transition of operations from existing Whitbread depots in Reading and Castle Donnington to a new site based in Wellingborough.
