As well as retaining most of its existing Tesco business, TC Contractors has been awarded an additional 437 outlets belonging to the major supermarket retailer, comprising Express, Metro, Superstores, Extra’s, Homeplus and dot.com formats. The success in securing the wider contract further enhances TC’s presence in the retail sector.
