Palletforce is continuing to strengthen its national member network with a focus on quality delivery and service excellence, thanks to the addition of leading Midlands storage and distribution business Invo Fulfilment.
Part of the Involvement Group, which was founded in 1974 by the father of the current owner, the family business has been storing and distributing goods for over 50 years. Invo Fulfilment serves a wide range of customers, with a strong focus on ambient food distribution supported by its BRC AA+ accreditation, and will cover southern CV postcodes around Leamington Spa, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon.
The Involvement Group has over 80 employees, operates 45 vehicles and has five warehousing and fulfilment facilities across the Midlands and Manchester. It offers a full range of fulfilment support including lot tracking, inventory management, pick and pack services, and off-loading support.
Oliver Lancaster, Operations Director at Involvement Group, said that after attending various seminars and meetings, they decided to join the Palletforce network to support Invo Fulfilment’s ambitious growth plans.
“Being part of an established brand and network like Palletforce raises Invo Fulfilment’s profile within the haulage and distribution sector and offers fantastic growth opportunities. In addition, the network allows us to provide a competitive and sustainable next-day service for our storage and fulfilment customers across the UK.”
Gary Bevan, Head of Invo Fulfilment, added: “We’ve worked hard to build a trusted customer base and we choose our partners carefully. There is an alignment of core values with Palletforce – we are both completely focused on quality and customer service – and we value the stability, innovation and technology support the network offers.”
Chris Dennigan, Palletforce Network Development Director, said: “Palletforce is able to deliver stability, consistent service and increase its market share thanks to our continued strategy to secure best-in-postcode members. Invo Fulfilment is a great fit for our network, membership and their customer base and we value the ambitious and determined approach the business has.
“As part of a group that puts quality, service and innovation at its core, the business shares our ethos and our desire to continue to deliver a sector-leading service that provides customers with an unrivalled experience. We look forward to working with everyone at Invo Fulfilment and are sure they will become a much-valued member of the Palletforce network.”
