Kerry gets going with PalletForce
Kerry Logistics has invested £500,000 on its warehousing in Manchester, Leeds and Charlton to support a growing transport operation. Kerry says its growing pallet service, through the PalletForce nwtwork is key in its expansion plans. It joined the network in November although an announcement was made only this week.
In June 2003 Kerry became a paid-up shareholder member of Pallet-Track, which planned to launch las autumn but didnt start until January 2004. Kerry Transport manager Steve Crawford says:
We had to sub-contract our pallet work out whoich was causing us cost and service issues so we needed to join a network as soon as possible. Pallet-Track kept pushing back its start date and in the meantime we got an offer from Palletforce which was too good to miss. It was just unfortuante timing.
