A Maidstone-based parcel delivery network has supported The Royal British Legion for the third year running in delivering millions of poppies to the nation.
Millbray Contracts, trading as APC Maidstone, has been working with The Royal British Legion since the Poppy Appeal in 2022 and now supports the charity with collections and deliveries all year round.
Over the last four weeks, the teams have delivered in excess of 30 million poppies to army barracks, schools, offices, homes and volunteers across the nation.
The Royal British Legion is a charity providing social and financial support to members and veterans of the British Armed Forces, their families and dependants.
