Kerry Logistics helps charities in Manchester


Kerry Logistics has supported two food charities facing increased demand for help during the Covid-19 pandemic to set up delivery networks across Manchester, home of its UK headquarters.

 

The Kerry Logistics UK team delivered groceries and ready meals for social enterprise Open Kitchen MCR and charity The Bread and Butter Thing free of charge at the beginning of the pandemic, and has helped them establish reliable delivery networks to meet the growing needs of homeless and at risk people in the city.

 

“Initially, we delivered to a sheltered housing development and two hotels in the city centre, which are being used as temporary accommodation for homeless people,” said Stacey Byrne, sales and marketing development manager, Kerry Logistics (UK).

 

“We also collected commercial refrigerators that were not being used by businesses closed in the lockdown and delivered them to the charities to assist in feeding those most at risk." (mw)
