Musto, one of the world’s leading brands of sailing and country sports clothing, has decided to outsource the e-commerce delivery of its extensive range of shoes and luggage to trade partners following a review of its operations.

Musto had previously managed its entire logistics process in-house from two warehouse facilities in Essex but has now opted to outsource part of the operation as part of a broader overhaul of its supply chain.

Walker Logistics has been appointed to fulfill orders for Musto’s range of shoes and luggage. Orders will be picked, packed and dispatched for shipment to clients throughout the UK and EU from a multi-user site close to Reading.

The move has helped Musto consolidate its stock-holding within just one unit – allowing it to sub-let the other warehouse and achieve efficiency gains.

The English brand, established in 1965 by Olympic sailor Keith Musto, focuses on sailing, equestrian, shooting and lifestyle outdoor clothing and accessories, as well as footwear and travel essentials. It was granted two Royal Warrants from HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh in 2010.

Musto has more than 15 outlets and stores in the UK and distributes sports apparel and footwear in more than 30 countries worldwide.
