Last year’s chaos was caused by a switch from Bidvest, now Best Food Logistics, to DHL.
The Sun understands DHL was fed up of being blamed, and did not re-bid after Best Food said it could deliver a case of chicken for £22 compared to £24.50.
Sources fear Best Food’s plans and routes are unrealistic, and “feathers will fly”.
An insider warned: “KFC fans should rightly be worried. More disruption awaits.”
The Sun told how last February’s chaos cost KFC £1million a day. Around 700 of its 870 stores shut after problems at DHL’s depot at Rugby, Warks. Cops urged customers not to call them over the shortage.
KFC said yesterday: “We had a tough year and have been working really hard to continue to deliver fresh chicken every day.
“We’ve decided to switch back to Best Food who have done a great job in supporting us while we got back on track.”
DHL will consult staff. Some may transfer suppliers. The firm is keen to bring a new customer to Rugby.
