Hazchem Network launches Irish service
The Hazchem Network is to launch an Irish service in mid-March. MD Jim Scanlan, tells MT that the firm has “selected our partner which will have two depots – one based in Belfast, the other in Dublin”. He declined to reveal the identity of the partner. Scanlan hopes to push the membership of the UK Network up to 40, from its present 38, in the “next couple of weeks”. It has already added 18 members since the turn of the year. Scanlan says that his aim of increasing its input of pallets to 400 pallets a night with 38 members compared to 100 pallets a night with 20 members was “not far away” from being realised. He maintains that the network will not rise above 40 members.
