D&D Transport based at Langley Mill in Nottingham, part of the Palletways network, belonging to Imperial Logistics (Imperial), has been recruited by Trouw Nutrition GB to handle deliveries of animal and pet feed across the country. D&D Transport expects to transport a minimum of three full trailer loads or 75,000 tonnes per day.
