Archbold Logistics opts for Palletforce quality
Archbold Logistics, a successful Leeds-based transport company with six locations nationwide, has joined PalletFORCE, one of the country’s fastest growing palletised distribution networks, in the long-term interests of the company and its customers.
The company is new to networks but decided to make the move after it won several contracts requiring palletised distribution. “We are able to deliver to specialised regions, but even with six Depots we were limited geographically. Joining a network seemed the ideal means of expanding to cover the entire country,” explains Xavier Archbold, the company’s Business Development Manager.
PalletFORCE proved the most suitable of all the networks that Archbold Logistics looked at. “Simply, PalletFORCE had the best quality of membership, giving us the sense that our deliveries would be well looked after,” Xavier Archbold confirms.
Archbold’s Manchester depot has now taken on responsibility for the northern part of the M postcode. “It’s early days yet but we want this to be an important part of the business,” comments Xavier Archbold.
Archbold Logistics was founded in 1918 and today the £20 million turnover, family-owned business has depots in Louth, Daventry, St Albans and Hemel Hempstead in addition to those in Leeds and Manchester. Alongside a 150-strong fleet, the company operates European, emergency freight and car sales divisions.
