This year, almost 200 colleagues across Kinaxia are reaching work anniversary milestones—and we’re proud to recognise every one of them through our Loyalty Awards 🎉
At our Newcastle depot, we’re celebrating two brilliant colleagues and their incredible journeys:

Kate Brown:

Since I started at Fresh Freight almost 20 years ago, I have seen a lot of changes, a lot of people come and go.  But what is nice is that there are still a lot of those faces here, who I have worked alongside for a number of years in such a lovely environment.  I am so lucky I get to work with them on a daily basis.

It is also nice to see that we also have a lot of customers who have stayed with us on this journey and the relationships we have built with them over the years continue.

My role has changed and developed in this time, putting myself through my accountancy qualifications in my spare time which has meant I now have a greater understanding of my role and has allowed me to take on more challenges. I’m sure there will be many more challenges to come!

Andrew ( Andy) Blench :

I started working for Fresh Freight in 1986 as a Commercial vehicle fitter for the Quigley family.

Although most of my days would be based in the garage I did if needed, help out with deliveries, driving up to Scotland and all over the Country. 

Both of my son’s did their fitter apprenticeships though Fresh Freight and work with me in the day to day running of the Garage.  I am very proud of them.

I have seen many changes in the past 40 years and look forward to seeing new changes ahead with the rebranding and name changes.

We’ll share more outstanding stories from colleagues celebrating service milestones regularly throughout the year!
