Multi-award-winning express distribution network Palletforce is continuing the celebrations this week having reached the significant landmark of delivering 50 million pallets of freight since its inception in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Palletforce\u2019s powerful UK and European distribution network is underpinned by the quality of its 110 member businesses, all local logistics experts delivering to every UK postcode every day and trusted by over 15,000 daily customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reaching the milestone of 50 million pallets of freight has been made possible by ongoing investment across the Palletforce network, including its state-of-the-art SuperHub, market-leading technology and building a network of the best-performing member businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mark Tapper, Palletforce chief operating officer, said: \u201cThe continued success of the Palletforce network is due to the expertise and operational acumen of our member businesses and our combined ability to react and innovate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have all worked together and collaborated successfully over the years to become the UK\u2019s leading network, delivering a quality service that\u2019s trusted by thousands of SME businesses, the beating heart of the UK economy, as a cost-effective and sustainable solution to connect business and get products to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cReaching the milestone figure of 50 million pallets is a fantastic achievement, but it is a testament to the hard work, professionalism and expertise of our members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On its first night of operation, at a former aircraft hangar at Fradley Park, Lichfield, on 31 August 2001, Palletforce handled 524 pallets of freight from the initial 36 founding members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now part of global logistics and technology provider EV Cargo, the company operates from a state-of-the-art central SuperHub in Burton upon Trent, delivering five million pallets a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Palletforce membership is relentless in its efforts to maintain our quality and market-leading position \u2013 our growth and success is due to the network being driven by unwavering customer service and exceptional delivery performance,\u201d added Mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have added six new members already this year and have plans to further strengthen Palletforce\u2019s position as the leading freight distribution network, and that includes our focus on delivering unrivalled service quality, strengthening our membership and leveraging the innovative technological advances our IT team has been making.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
