LYNX Express announces link up with PALLET-TRACK Ltd

LYNX Express has forged a new alliance with PALLET-TRACK, the fast growing specialist pallet network to create a new force in pallet distribution.

The move is a major opportunity for LYNX to increase significantly its already large share of the overnight pallet market. The service will be distinct and separate from that currently provided on a captive basis by the wholly owned LYNX Express depot network and fleet. The pricing structure, service proposition and terms of transport will be more closely aligned to meet demand for specialised pallet movements, particularly multiple part shipments.

LYNX joins the expanding PALLET-TRACK network as one of the company’s new members alongside 55 others operating on a well established system which currently handles over 1400 pallets per night.

David Burtenshaw, Chief Executive of LYNX Express commented: “We have been seriously considering expanding our pallet volumes from the current levels where we already deliver several thousands per day. We wanted to be able to provide a bulk pallet service for our customers who ship larger volumes of pallets and, it was very important that we became involved with the right network.

“Our decision to form an alliance in this area of the market has been driven by careful consideration of the specialist requirements. We believe that operating the right equipment and procedures is essential to achieving service excellence and in the products we will launch in conjunction with PALLET-TRACK there is a great opportunity to widen our involvement in providing total distribution solutions under a total quality assurance umbrella.

“PALLET-TRACK are one of the fastest growing pallet distribution networks in the country, and we have been impressed by all aspects of their operation, particularly their IT capability and most importantly their commitment to quality. It is essential that our customers experience a seamless service when giving their goods to LYNX to deliver. These factors were crucial to our decision.

“As a result of our future involvement with PALLET-TRACK we can increasingly offer our customers a total one stop shop distribution solution. We see this development as integral to the future growth of our business,” he added.
