Unipart secures three-year contract with Leonardo

28 May 2025  

Unipart has won a three-year contract with Leonardo, a £17.8 billion global industrial group building technological capabilities in aerospace, defence and security.

Under the terms of the deal, announced yesterday, Unipart will be responsible for warehousing and logistics services, contributing to Leonardo’s support of the UK & Irish fleet of commercial and public service helicopters.

Darren Leigh (pictured), CEO of Unipart, said: “In an industry facing a number of challenges, ranging from production demands to sustainability targets, it’s crucial for Unipart to provide best-in-class supply chain performance improvement solutions that deliver sustainable growth.”

The announcement came just weeks after Unipart reported an increase in turnover to more than £1 billion last year, a 3.2% year-on-year rise. Meanwhile, underlying profit before interest and tax increased 29.5% to £28.1 million.

The company also celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Unipart brand in 2024 — a year in which the business said it also extended supply chain partnerships with a number of automotive OEMs across operations in the UK, US and Asia-Pacific.
