Keystone Distribution becomes Martin Brower UK

Motor Transport Low Carbon and Efficiency award winner Keystone Distribution has changed its name to Martin Brower UK.

The Hemel Hempstead-based company, which won its award in association with customer McDonald’s UK, was purchased by US-based The Martin Brower Company in April of last year.

The Martin Brower Company is the long-term supply chain partner for McDonald's in the US and has 60 DCs in 17 countries.

Martin Brower Europe President, Bryan Jones, said: “It is an exciting start to the year for Martin Brower UK as we embrace our new corporate identity across our distribution centres in Hemel Hempstead, Basingstoke and Heywood with new uniforms for our drivers and warehouse operatives, updated liveries for our 149-strong fleet and fresh signage across our estate.

“Being part of the Martin Brower global family provides our UK business with a great opportunity to leverage scale in delivering continuing value for customers,” Jones added.
