Wincanton awarded new three-year contract by Kelkay

The transport services will include store deliveries, fleet provision and maintenance, planning, scheduling, and compliance.

The new contract will see the Group manage the movement of 20,000 orders per year from Kelkay’s site in Pollington, East Yorkshire, for distribution to more than  2,000 retail locations across the UK and Ireland.
