Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire-based United Pallet Network says it met with ANC to discuss the parcel carrier‘s wish to develop into the pallet sectork either through a strategic alliance or by delveoping its own network. UPN managing director Andrew Spencer told Motor Transport: ‘Representatives from ANC did come and pick our brains but nothing has been continued.‘ ANC says: ‘We are continally reviewing our service offerings and the market situation to ensure ANC provides the very best available service, exceeding our customers‘ expectations.‘
‘During these review processes we have regular dialogue with pallet companies and third party logistics companies. Other than that, as a matter of policy wwe do not comment on market rumours.‘
