The UK based confectionery manufacturer Tommy Tucker has awarded Seafield Logistics a warehousing and distribution contract.  Tommy Tucker has manufacturing sites located within Nottinghamshire ideally located within a short distance from Seafield’s operation.

Seafield will be storing pallets of finished popcorn, sweets, popping corn and oils within their warehouse at Claylands Avenue in Worksop, where they will receive, store, pick and pack confectionery and distribute to Odeon and Vue cinemas nationwide.  Seafield are also receiving approximately two bulk deliveries per week of popping corn from the USA in handball containers which is then transported to the production sites in Worksop and Retford.
