International freight distribution network Palletforce is set to create 100 new jobs at its state-of-the-art \u00a350m distribution SuperHub in Burton upon Trent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 50 full-time forklift truck driving and warehouse positions are already being filled at the facility following a series of major contract wins covering express freight sortation, consolidation and delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A further 50 are expected to be created during 2019 as a result of commercial opportunities presented though Palletforce\u2019s membership of EV Cargo, a recently-announced consolidation of six of the UK\u2019s leading logistics companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Palletforce chief executive Michael Conroy said: \u201cThe SuperHub was a vision to create the capacity to enable growth and a key part of the \u00a365 million investment in our network to fuel growth and connect trade among our membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSince it opened in 2017, the SuperHub has more than proved its worth as a world-class distribution centre, with state-of-the-art facilities and industry-leading technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt the heart of the operation is our workforce and we are delighted that the next few months will see a major expansion of our skilled team to deal with the increased business generated here and through EV Cargo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Launched in November, with \u00a3850 million of revenue, EV Cargo is one of the UK\u2019s largest providers of transport, logistics, freight forwarding services and logistics technology, offering mission-critical supply chain services to a portfolio of leading brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It consists of Palletforce, Adjuno, Allport Cargo Services, CM Downton, Jigsaw, and NFT, operating together under one brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Conroy said: \u201cPalletforce is the only UK distribution network with patented technology to offer weighing, scanning and imaging of every single pallet we handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs part of EV Cargo we can further connect trade for our members and their customers by enhancing our range of quality services and further fuelling expansion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
