Baynes & Son moves to PalletFORCE
Bangor transport company Baynes and Son has switched its palletised distribution network to PalletFORCE, in a move that complements the network’s ongoing consolidation programme.
Previously with UPN, Baynes and Son’s decision to join PalletFORCE has been made to ensure that the company can continue to meet the distribution needs of existing and potential customers.
“We had a good relationship with UPN but felt that PalletFORCE offered bigger and better opportunities for the future,” comments Managing Director Mike Baynes. “PalletFORCE’s unique shareholder ownership structure particularly impressed us, as we feel more secure knowing we have input into the running of the Network.”
Baynes and Son has been recruited as a Shareholder Member Depot for parts of the LL postcode. It will share responsibility for the area with existing PalletFORCE member Edwin C Farrall (Transport) Ltd, as part of the Network’s programme of postcode consolidation.
The company began trading in 1989 and today operates from 19,500 ft of warehousing. Its fleet comprises twelve lorries (nine artics and three four-wheelers), three vans and one pick-up truck.

Notes to Editors
Palletised distribution has been a major growth area in road haulage over the last decade, offering a cost-effective solution to the quick delivery of small palletised consignments.
PalletFORCE is one of the leading palletised distribution networks in the UK and mainland Europe. With over 88 strategically-located depots around the country and a 210,000 sq. ft. central hub in Lichfield Staffordshire, the PalletFORCE network offers significant efficiency savings. Each member depot delivers goods originating from its operational area to the central hub. They then collect goods for delivery to their home area for the return load – a streamlined process which offers a more competitive, cost effective service for both members and customers, whilst substantially reducing environmental impact.
