GXO, which has been handling logistics for Castore in the UK since April 2024, will now extend its services to the Netherlands, with further plans to expand into the US. The contract logistics provider distributes teamwear for Castore’s sporting partners, including Oracle Red Bull Racing, McLaren F1, Everton FC, England Cricket, and Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty.

In addition to teamwear distribution, GXO manages retail and wholesale logistics for Castore, supplying over 20 stores across Europe and fulfilling e-commerce sales globally. The company provides an integrated solution, incorporating warehousing, transport management, returns handling, courier management, and product personalisation.

“We’re proud that Castore recognised our expertise in fashion and sportswear, trusting their logistics to us. We will bring our capabilities in warehousing and transport services to support Castore’s continuing growth,” stated Richard Cawston, Chief Revenue Officer at GXO.

Adrian Harris, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Castore, commented:

“As Castore continues its fast-paced growth, we want to ensure we work with partners to support and strengthen our ambitions to be one of the world’s highest performance sportswear brands.”

GXO implemented a new warehouse management system for Castore in the UK within eight weeks of contract signing. The company aims to optimise efficiency by integrating warehousing and transport operations, reducing the risk of supply chain disruption and improving scalability. GXO’s courier management team now oversees parcel delivery administration in the UK and Ireland, allowing Castore to focus on product development and brand growth.
