CASE STUDY
The challenge Taylor Wimpey needed a partner to drive consistency across 26 business units with decentralised buying departments. This meant consolidating supplies from their existing 36 suppliers including PPE and workwear suppliers, supply distributors, tool hire companies and high street businesses. Standardisation would significantly reduce non-contractual spend generated through petty cash and corporate purchase cards. Streamlining Supplies for Optimal Efficiency
The solution Empowering employees through Advantage, our data-driven solution
JOINING FORCES TO STREAMLINE SUPPLY CHAINS
Bunzl Greenham were awarded the Taylor Woodrow contract to supply PPE, uniform and workwear. Taylor Wimpey trusted us to consolidate their supply chain, streamlining their products to a compliant core range. Plus, we implemented a robust digital ordering system to drive consistent purchasing behaviours. The Taylor Wimpey Corporate Account Manager and Customer Success Team engaged early to understand the needs of key stakeholders from both parties. A robust implementation plan with key milestones and activities was created. Given the project’s complexity, we held regular stakeholder meetings during the first eight weeks.
BUNZL GREENHAM 2025

SMARTER SOLUTIONS
We analysed data from various suppliers and trialled a streamlined product range, ensuring all job roles were adequately catered for. Customised range lists were created for each job role on our Advantage ordering portal. Additionally, we established an ordering hierarchy to determine which ranges should be allocated to the correct individuals.
COLLABORATIVE COMMUNICATION
Keeping everyone up to date was key to the success of this project. A Taylor Wimpey mobilisation page was set up via Teams to broadcast key updates and upload documents, keeping all project information in a central location. Bi-weekly drop-in sessions were held for our internal stakeholders, enabling the Customer Success Team to provide updates and the Corporate Account Manager to deliver further instructions. All sessions were interactive, and all stakeholders were able to share progress as well as get advice.
THE ADVANTAGES OF TRAINING
To help Taylor Wimpey employees use the Advantage platform independently and confidently, we conducted training sessions that covered how to fully utilise the system. This included training for administrative staff on accessing invoices, proof of deliveries, and site spend reporting.
The results The Taylor Wimpey contract is now fully implemented, giving them complete control of their supply chain and contract compliance. With all stakeholders involved in the process, engagement and investment are high. The product range is fit for purpose and ensures that products are only purchased for the activities they are required for. A monthly newsletter is shared with both Taylor Wimpey and Bunzl Greenham, keeping stakeholders informed of any updates, guidelines, and new product additions. To maintain an up-to-date distribution list, we also send the newsletter to all Advantage Taylor Wimpey users and regularly cleanse this list. We organise regular review meetings with both central and regional procurement teams, agreeing on an agenda annually to strengthen relationships and deliver value. Each region has its own rules for contacting end-users, and strict controls have been implemented to enhance these relationships.

CASE STUDY
Cost saving through mass product standardisation
The challenge Diageo is a global operation producing and packaging alcoholic beverages, with a UK workforce of over 4,000 people. Each site had its own idea of what products they required for their site, along with differing perceptions of the Diageo identity. This was difficult to manage and created a bottom-up procurement process. Working with Diageo, we analysed the data of all products purchased from different suppliers – many of which didn’t specialise in PPE – resulting in significant variations in products purchased and prices paid. Diageo were purchasing 97 different types of gloves, 127 different types of boots and 119 different logo combinations for their corporate uniforms. This resulted in poor service, pricing, brand consistency and, most importantly, safety of PPE products - potentially leaving their staff and company vulnerable.
The solution Leveraging our sustainability expertise through carbon forecasting and value added sole supply services. Working with Diageo’s procurement team, we standardised their PPE product range, selecting the most fit-for-purpose products in each category, whilst having consideration for employees who were previously part of a bottom-up process. A PPE committee, including representatives from all sites, procurement, and Bunzl Greenham, was formed to identify key areas for standardisation, starting with less emotive products to ease the transition.
BUNZL GREENHAM 2025
12
Specific site surveys were conducted relating to the use of these products. For example, during the hand protection rationalisation – 6 UK sites were surveyed to identify overall glove usage on site. Once all surveys were completed, a rationalised range was issued to trial at these sites. As a result, the glove range was streamlined from 97 to just 7 styles, which Diageo mandated usage across all locations. Similarly, we reduced logo variations in clothing from 119 to 3, improving stock availability, reducing SKUs, and fostering inclusivity across departments. We continued to work through Diageo’s core ranges and reduce product SKU counts whilst Diageo consolidated vendors. The result Diageo now have an effective, quality range of products that satisfy all their health and safety requirements for all product areas. This has driven compliance, improved safety and streamlined procurement processes. Additionally, this generated hard cost savings of £100K and soft savings of £20K annually, while also reducing invoices, deliveries, and Diageo’s carbon footprint.

CASE STUDY
Driving sustainable change through collaborative partnership
The challenge We have been working with City of London Corporation for over 15 years, supplying cleaning and hygiene products via the EEM framework to over 100 sites. Their ambition was to be plastic free by the end of 2023 and to achieve net zero before 2030.
The solution Boosting sustainability through carbon forecasting, sustainable product awards, and product recycling. Our partnership with the City of London Corporation focuses on sustainability, specifically reducing CO2 emissions, cutting plastic use, and offering a sustainable product range – from raw materials to disposal. We worked closely with the procurement and sustainability teams to help them achieve their goals, starting by assigning an account manager dedicated to public sector organisations. By sharing knowledge, expertise, and success stories, we built confidence in our leading solutions. Through monthly sustainability meetings, we implemented solutions that were regularly tracked and reported using our Carbon Reduction Monitoring Tool.
BUNZL GREENHAM 2025

The result During 2023 Greenham supported the City of London Corporation in the sustainable procurement of personal protective equipment and cleaning and hygiene products which has resulted in all purchased products being rated at Bronze or above through Greenham’s product award categorisation.
The City of London have achieved the following results by moving chemicals to 5L concentrate where possible and working with suppliers that have reduced packaging and improved a product’s overall sustainability. Without the collaboration of client interest and supplier knowledge these results wouldn’t have been achieved as quickly.

Next the City of London will look to replace 750ml bottles with soluble sachets to switch a number of Bronze products to Gold. The City of London Corporation has also invited us to utilise their tracking managing solution, Avarni, which means we can continue to measure and reduce their Scope 3 emissions targets.

CASE STUDY
Driving cost savings while building a sustainable future
The challenge In 2020, the UK government outlined its strategy to achieve net zero by 2050. As a market leader in PPE, we recognised the demand from our customers for a more sustainable service. EKFB asked us to support them in bringing four leading civil engineering companies together: Eiffage, Kier, Ferrovial Construction and BAM Nuttall. Their ambition was to be the first joint construction venture in the UK to achieve recognised sustainability status by the Supply Chain Sustainability School and achieve net zero by 2035.
BUNZL GREENHAM 2025
16
The solution Enhancing sustainability utilising our carbon forecasting service Discussions between our Sustainability Team and key stakeholders from across the businesses revealed that the transportation of materials to and from site was a major contributor to their overall carbon emissions. We implemented our innovative, market-leading Carbon Forecast calculator which analyses delivery data and monthly energy and fuel consumption to quantify the CO2 emissions created per delivery. With this tool, we provided in-depth analysis to show how to achieve a real reduction in emissions by reducing the number of deliveries to site. We estimated that by reducing delivery frequencies by 86%, we could create a carbon saving of 4723.79 kg per year.
To help EKFB reach this goal, we reviewed and streamlined the core product range and agreed set delivery days to receive goods each week.
The result EKFB have reduced overall carbon emissions achieved by receiving fewer deliveries each week (which also makes things easier for site operatives) and created soft cost savings by having fewer purchase orders with suppliers.

CASE STUDY
The challenge During our 20-year working relationship with Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) we’ve embedded ourselves into their complex operation. During this time, HAL tasked us with creating a bespoke, quality range of head-to toe PPE for their expansion development. As the second busiest airport in the world, HAL required a specialist personal protective equipment distributor to revolutionise the safety of their people, while providing PPE that was built to last. Creating a truly bespoke safety range
BUNZL GREENHAM 2025
18
The solution Leveraging our category product design and manufacturing expertise through our value-added services.
Through extensive dialogue with HAL, our expert team of Category Managers identified PULSAR™ as the market leading supplier in the design and manufacture of innovative and quality PPE. We held several product workshops with both HAL and PULSAR™ to develop an entirely new range that met all their safety and inclusivity requirements. This included meeting all the latest standards in-line with the EU 2016/425 regulation and having garments that could be laundered up to 50 times through an industrial wash process. The result Each item of bespoke PPE included the Heathrow purple zip, tape and logo. The PPE was also tailored to fit within an airport environment, including:
Zip teeth being made from non-metal
Reflective high-visibility branded tape
Interactive waterproof, breathable and windproof garments
We also developed an innovative polo shirt with PULSAR™ which includes Kevlar ® woven sleeves to protect HAL’s people whilst working. We take pride in offering our customers the safest and most innovative products, as clearly demonstrated by HAL.

CASE STUDY
Scheduling deliveries to meet strict security protocols
The challenge The Ministry of Justice (MOJ), which includes prisons, courts and other provisions spanning 260 locations across England and Wales, needed a reliable, local service with specialist knowledge. Due to the sensitive nature and restrictions of each site, MOJ provides a strict delivery schedule that dictates allocated delivery days for each location. They needed a supplier that could follow this schedule meticulously to provide reassurance that they could stock plan against their capacity without any shortfalls generated by failure to deliver.
The solution Utilising our Service Centre efficient route planning and skilled drivers Bunzl Greenham has held the contract to supply the MOJ with Cleaning and Hygiene products since 2016, with a contract value of circa £11m per annum. Across our network of Service Centres, deliveries are regularly made to all 260 MOJ locations. Our strategically placed locations all have their own delivery fleet and workforce of delivery drivers. Deliveries are meticulously planned via our routing software Verizon Connect, which plans deliveries in line with allotted delivery windows avoiding peak traffic times. Order recipients are notified of the delivery time on the day of delivery and are provided with electronic copies of delivery notes, proof of deliveries and invoices on completion of delivery.

The results
Orders are delivered on time, every time All MOJ orders come with a comprehensive schedule created at each Service Centre, tailored to local requirements. The delivery schedule dictates the allocated delivery day for each location and is strictly followed. We understand the unique restrictions of secure environments and provide full training and support, whilst ensuring that all products comply with regulations and current COSHH data sheets are provided. Complete peace of mind Our picking process is supervised and thoroughly monitored for any MOJ order. This provides full reassurance that each package is physically checked by a trained warehouse team member to ensure there are no mistakes, or incorrect products despatched. Guaranteed stock capacity Each Service Centre holds a minimum of 12 weeks MOJ core stock, supported by an additional stock-holding at our National Distribution Centre. Regular meetings are held with the MOJ to determine any foreseeable changes to core product demand so that we can effectively increase or decrease levels in line with their requirements.

CASE STUDY
The challenge VINCI Construction UK faced significant inefficiencies in their procurement process, stemming from fragmented supplier management across five business delegations and 35 separate business units. With a £10m spend routed through credit cards and non-approved suppliers, their existing model lacked centralised control, creating challenges in cost management, supply chain governance and on-site delivery efficiency. The company also recognised a pressing need to address its sustainability goals, including reducing Scope 3 emissions and embracing more sustainable products and services. After being awarded the contract as the dedicated supplier of PPE and workwear, our Account Management Team immediately embarked on a journey to meticulously understand the complex needs, processes and goals of an organisation of this scale. Through close collaboration and in-depth discussions with stakeholders from various departments and delegations, a strategy was crafted to address all identified challenges. Driving compliance through supplier consolidation
BUNZL GREENHAM 2025
22
The solution CONSOLIDATION AND RATIONALISATION
We consolidated 38 active suppliers into one, streamlining procurement and simplifying operations. We rationalised the PPE and workwear offering to align with VINCI’s operational needs and sustainability goals, reducing their overall SKUs by 35%, with high visibility clothing now being 6 products and workwear only 5 products across all departments in the process. We designed, manufactured and rolled out a fully bespoke workwear product range that was underpinned by integrating sustainable materials, sourcing locally where possible and minimising packaging. A signature dark navy stripe was incorporated into the garment design to drive consistency across delegations and promote a unified brand identity. COMPLETELY BESPOKE PRODUCT RANGE
IN-DEPTH REPORTING SUITE
As part of our service offering, we introduced Microsoft Power BI for in-depth management information and sustainability reporting, delivering clear and live insights into product consumption, costs and environmental impact.
The results VINCI Construction UK’s safety solution procurement process has been completely transformed, setting a new benchmark for customer-supplier collaboration. This partnership significantly strengthened supply chain governance by eliminating £10m in credit card and non-approved supplier spend. By consolidating suppliers, we simplified ordering processes and enhanced efficiency, supporting over 7,500 end users with fewer disruptions on already busy sites. Sustainability goals were also advanced with the introduction of dynamic management information reports, including carbon forecasting, which enabled data-driven decisions to reduce environmental impact.
