Evans Transport increases its PalletFORCE Operation
PalletFORCE Member Depot Evans Transport has extended its ties with the Network by launching PalletFORCE services from its headquarters in Barnstaple, in addition to its Exeter depot.
Evans Transport first joined PalletFORCE in early 2006. “Chief Executive Mick Scarlett explained the principles behind the Network and we agreed that it would be an ideal way of enhancing the services we offer to our customers,” explains Nigel Evans.
When PalletFORCE’s commitment to Depot consolidation created an opening in North Devon for a new Member Depot, Evans was quick to see the potential for the company’s Barnstaple operation.
We’re extremely happy with PalletFORCE – after all if it wasn’t working, we wouldn’t be adding to it!” Nigel Evans confirms. “A Network is only as good as its membership, and PalletFORCE’s is excellent.”
Evans Transport was founded in 1965 and is still family owned. The company has a fleet of 90 vehicles operating from the South-West region.
Notes to Editors
Palletised distribution has been a major growth area in road haulage over the last decade, offering a cost-effective solution to the quick delivery of small palletised consignments.
PalletFORCE is one of the leading palletised distribution networks in the UK and mainland Europe. With over 90 strategically-located depots around the country and a 210,000 sq. ft. central hub in Lichfield Staffordshire, the PalletFORCE network offers significant efficiency savings. Each member depot delivers goods originating from its operational area to the central hub. They then collect goods for delivery to their home area for the return load – a streamlined process which offers a more competitive, cost effective service for both members and customers, whilst substantially reducing environmental impact.
