This expansion will add five new delivery routes, with the potential of 20 more and has the potential to transport within a 40-mile radius of kff’s Oxfordshire depot, opening up the M4 corridor for the company. The expansion has also increased the number of jobs to 24, three of which are management roles.
kff has also saved 250,000 food miles and 200 tonnes of CO2 since its completion. Alongside this, kff has also reduced its energy consumption to only 3kW and more energy efficience procedures are set to be incorporated within the next 18 months.
Chris Beckley, managing director of kff, said: “The expansion of our Witney depot is a sign of things to come as we look to expand further north in addition to our main depot in Aylesford. As well as achieving excellent energy and resource savings, the expansion has allowed us to greatly improve our service levels to customers along the M4 corridor, and also demonstrates our commitment to that area.”
kff is a national foodservice wholesaler to the catering industry and provides a range of chilled, ambient and frozen products, including meat, fish, bread and cheese as well as fully prepared meals and drinks.
