The ‘Clipper Way’

Clipper delivers a broad range of value-added logistics services tailored to the emerging and future needs of our customers.

How we create value

High level of contractual certainty

Clipper provides customers with

  • services. We operate open book or

minimum volume guarantee contract terms for 94% of our UK Logistics customers, giving us a high level of contractual certainty.

Mutually beneficial long-term relationships

We also operate closed book contracts for customers, many of whom we have worked with for several years.

Talent and expertise

In order to ensure long-term customer relationships, we continually draw on our team’s expertise to drive innovation in

  • ur operations. This enables us to retain our market-leading

cost competitive position and continue to strengthen our brand.

Innovative solutions

Clipper has developed specialist services (e.g. pre-retailing services and reprocessing of garments) to support

  • ur customers in their ever-complex

supply chains and to ensure that product is ready for sale in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. As the retail landscape changes to become more omni-channel focused, developing innovative solutions such as Clicklink and Boomerang to support our customers has led to Clipper retaining customers on a long-term basis as well as winning new business every year.

Commercial vehicle dealerships

In addition, our commercial vehicles division is profitable and cash generative – its profitability driven by higher margin aftersales activity, which is underpinned by legal requirements governing the inspection of commercial vehicles.

Fleet procurement benefits

Whilst Northern Commercials is not heavily dependent on the logistics division of the Group, it provides Clipper with flexibility over fleet procurement, and margins on servicing activity are retained within the Group.

Key inputs

Thought leadership and innovation

Clipper has a strong brand, long- standing customer relationships and an experienced team, which combine to deliver thought leadership and innovation in the logistics sector.

Enduring relationships

Clipper’s focus on the provision of value-added services to retailers at a competitive cost has resulted in a number of long-standing contractual arrangements with major retailers such as Asda, ASOS, John Lewis, Morrisons and Superdry.

Technologically advanced

We work in trusted partnership with

  • ur customers to develop and

rapidly deploy solutions to the challenges they face. Our team is focused on addressing tomorrow’s challenges today and embraces new technology.

Effective financial management

We seek to efficiently use funds

  • btained through financing or

generated from operations or

  • investments. A high degree of

contractual certainty underpins financial predictability and stability.

The ‘Clipper Way’

How the value is shared

Shareholders

  • perating profit growth and good cash

conversion, resulting in dividend distributions of circa 61% in 2020.

Employees

Customers

Blue-chip customers in logistics and commercial vehicles can rely on Clipper’s established reputation and high levels of service, particularly when they need it most through peak trading periods.

Suppliers

Clipper benefits from its relationships, built over many years, with large and small trusted partners and suppliers. Clipper’s diverse supply base de-risks Clipper and its customers from fluctuations in market conditions.

Communities

Clipper’s Corporate Social Responsibility agenda benefits local communities by providing employment opportunities, reinvesting in the local communities through sponsorship and developing green initiatives.

Ethical governance

Environmental, social and governance

Everyone who works for and with Clipper Logistics plc has the right to work in an environment that is free from harm and to do so freely for their own purpose. Clipper has partnered with Intertek plc to create an Ethical Trading audit that is based on the SMETA audit standards as well as being benchmarked against the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) standards. Sites’ contingent labour providers and onsite support functions (e.g. security, cleaning and catering companies) are audited yearly with stringent follow-up actions. This provides significant confidence to senior management and the Board on compliance with our strict ethical policies, including Modern Slavery.

In the ‘Clipper Way’, demonstrating our agility, Clipper was able to mobilise an initial 200,000 sq. ft. solution within 4 days. We are currently utilising our logistics capabilities at several locations, thereby easing the pressure on the NHS Supply Chain network. The aim was to work with our NHS partner and establish a new supply chain for NHS Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) products. We are not only delivering to NHS Hospital Trusts, we have also developed an online eBay solution to support healthcare providers, GP surgeries, care homes and others in the primary care network across the country.

COVID-19: accelerated e-commerce growth

E-commerce mega trends and post-COVID-19 acceleration

Online orders increased significantly from March 2020 onwards 21% year-on-year increase in e-commerce sales in fashion, apparel and accessories globally. Dramatic change in online shopping habits over the COVID-19 lockdown period Number of consumers who say they’ve increased their online shopping rising to 36% (Mintel research conducted 16-23 April). Catalyst for a new, more omni-channel focused future 42% of respondents to a survey conducted by Retail SaaS provider Qudini are more likely to use click and collect services. Retailers without online presence threatened 42.6% of UK shoppers are spending more than usual online at the moment and 61% of those plan to keep doing so after the pandemic (Global Data’s survey May 2020). Bricks-and-mortar saw online orders increase from 52% to 76% compared with the same period last year (The Future of Ecommerce, April 2020).

Business case

  • f returns available for resale

within 24 hours

We partnered with Superdry to develop automation solutions to speed up the processing of e-commerce returns, making them available for sale again quickly. We looked at the flexibility robots could offer us in an automated goods-to-person system. The pilot project for handling e-commerce returns was conducted in 2018. After the success of that project, we moved on with planning expansion. Over 80,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space at our Burton facility is being set out with 1,000 transportable pick-wall modules and 12 pick-to-light stations to facilitate the adoption of the robots. The site is also being prepared for the robot fleet by positioning QR codes on the floor for the robots to follow. The solution will not only be able to process all existing e-commerce returns but will now also be able to process returns from store. Once live, this will cater for around 50% of the site’s outbound activity. The expansion will take us from six robots and 92 modules to 46 robots and 1,000 modules.

This will allow over 32,000 locations to be serviced by robots. Our plan is then to further expand the solution to include menswear next year. This will involve additional automation projects, redesign of the mezzanine floors as forward reserve storage to enable fast replenishment and reduced handling of goods to the High Productivity Racking area.
