Mike Watson Transport joins PalletFORCE Network
Hampshire-based Mike Watson Transport (MWT) has joined PalletFORCE, one of the fastest-growing palletised distribution networks in the UK.
In order to meet the anticipated growth as a direct result of PalletFORCE, MWT is expanding its operations to accommodate a new dedicated 10,000 sq.ft warehousing depot in Alton, Hampshire, with a further two vehicles being added to the fleet. In addition, MWT is currently recruiting a new member of staff to join its haulage team, and expects continued growth over the coming months as a result of its participation in PalletFORCE.
MWT will cover the GU1 – 10, 23 and 26 – 35 postcodes, which incorporate Alton, Guildford, Petworth, Petersfield and Farnham.
Comments Mike Watson, director at MWT: “Becoming a member of the PalletFORCE network is a key milestone for MWT, and will offer huge advantages for both our existing and potential customers. What appealed to me about PalletFORCE is the membership shareholder structure, as each member has an active role in the operations of the network. As a result, it has a reputation for providing exceptionally high quality standards, and has on time delivery rates exceeding 99%.”
Established in 1988, MWT provides distribution and storage services to businesses on a local and national level. The new dedicated warehousing facility in Alton will be finalised in early 2007, and will enable MWT to offer additional short and long-term storage services to businesses in and around the Hampshire region.
