Mitchells & Butlers (M&B) has unveiled a seven-year partnership with Brakes Group worth over £200m, delivering significant savings for the company across the duration of the contract.

The arrangement will deliver a single multi-temperature service for all food and consumables products to Mitchells & Butlers' 1600 restaurants and pubs.

The logistics solution will support M&B's growth strategy enabling a significant increase in the size of its estate of market-leading food brands and growth in individual outlet like-for-like sales.
