Palletways invests £1.5m in new vehicles
European palletised freight network Palletways has invested £1.5m adding to its vehicle fleet. Twenty four new vehicles and trailers have been purchased, which will operate out of two depots in London and Birmingham, UK.
The investment will allow Palletways to accommodate its growing number of national and international customers, it said.
Andrew Turner, managing director of Palletways Owned Operations, said: “The investment in new fleet across these operations reflects the growth and success of our business, which has seen an increase of 15% in volumes handled in the last year.”
The Palletways distribution network provides a range of express delivery services including next day, economy and timed delivery options.
Palletways, which was set up in 1994, has 280 plus depots across the UK and mainland Europe and handles circa 21,000 pallets a day through nine hub facilities across Europe.
The company’s distribution networks in the UK and mainland Europe are supported by a fully integrated IT infrastructure, which allows customers to track and trace consignments over the Internet.
