How the Company was Established.

The Kenyon Group of companies has certainly evolved throughout its long history, spanning in excess of 70 years.

Established in 1933 by the late, enterprising founder, Harry Kenyon Snr. Harry, having suffered a bout of pneumonia, was forced to trade his motorbike in for a small van, thus offering greater protection from the elements and laying the foundations of a Family firm that has gone from strength to strength in the intervening years.

The Kenyon family are still very much involved in the day to day management, with the ongoing development program driven by both the present Managing Director Wayne Kenyon and his brother Michael who are the Grandsons of the founder

Wayne and Michael’s father Harry Kenyon jnr. also has an active role in the company, is the current Chairman and can be found every day sat at his desk, even though he is now in his seventies.

Collectively they have ensured that a measured and managed approach has been adopted for the tactical and strategic growth of the Company.

Wayne Kenyon took over the reins from his father as Managing Director in 1989 and his business philosophy is simple, he believes that, ‘investing in

the future is the only way to achieve real and substantial growth’ proving this by adding more warehouses and opening a second depot on the Fylde Coast in Fleetwood, offering even greater flexibility in the services offered to customers within the Lancashire area.
