Local Distribution Company Joins Logistics Network and Predicts Major Growth

Goods 2 Go, based in Lewisham South-East London, has joined Palletways, the number one palletised freight network in Europe.
The company has become one of more than 100 depots that make up the UK network, which provides a range of express distribution services for small consignments of palletised freight, including next day, economy and timed delivery options. Goods 2 Go will cover deliveries to EC and WC postcodes in central London.
Goods 2 Go, which was founded in 2001 and has a 15-strong vehicle fleet, predicts that its membership of Palletways will increase its annual turnover by 30 per cent.
Ash Douglas, Managing Director of Goods 2 Go said: “Joining Palletways will enable us to fully exploit the palletised freight marketplace in the UK and Europe. Being part of the largest network of its kind will enable us to offer our customers cost-effective overnight and express freight services to anywhere in the country for the first time ever, as well as being able to offer services to mainland Europe, a service which we intend to grow over the next few years.”
Palletways was set up in 1994 and is the UK’s market leader in overnight palletised freight distribution, capable of handling over 20,000 pallets a day. At the heart of the operation is the Palletways hub in Lichfield. Any goods being transported into mainland Europe, including the Benelux countries, Denmark, France, Switzerland and Germany, are sent via the Palletways Central European Network hubs in Nijmegen in the Netherlands, Gent in Belgium and Troyes in France for onward delivery by local Palletways members.
As with all companies in the Palletways network, Goods 2 Go will benefit from high-speed connections to the internet, and the track and trace consignment monitoring.
By accessing the Palletways website and entering their unique login name, Goods 2 Go customers are able to go online and check the status and location of their consignments with track and trace.
