Who We Are
At Mitchell Cotts Group, we are in the business of shipping, freight forwarding, warehousing, and transportation. We landed on Kenyan soil in 1926 as a subsidiary of Mitchell Cotts PLC U.K. At the time, all we transported was coal for the steamships that used it as fuel. This humble beginning helped us learn a few lessons and over the years we have managed to steadily grow into the integrated end-to-end logistics company that we are. In 1989 we became fully Kenyan-owned.
Our main focus for a while was on stabilising in the Kenyan market and once that was done, we decided to spread our wings to Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan.
Since inception our commercial foundations were built on pursuing strategic regional representation as well as distribution of products for locally based clients and international principals.
