Kent Foods Limited

Due to substantial growth within our business, we began a process to source extra support for a distribution requirement. X2 where already making regular visits to our sites, through one of our major suppliers, which made sense to engage with them.

After trail runs, it became very apparent that the knowledge and capability applied by the X2 team would make them the perfect fit for Kent Foods multi-site distribution needs.

X2 now play a major part in our distribution, plus we really enjoy working with them.
