New Palletways Hub
Palletways has opened a new 50,000ft2 Scottish hub in Livinston, West Lothian. The Lord Provost, Tom Kerr, Palletways member companies and customers celebrated the opening at a specially organised launch.
The new hub in Livingston replaces a smaller site in Broxburn and provides customers with Scottish, UK-wide and pan-European express delivery services for small consignments of palletised freight. The size of the old site was restricting growth, and new premises were required to take the Palletways operation in Scotland to the next level. The new site is 50 pct larger with a total area of 50,000 sq ft.
Recently appointed Depot Manager, Jon Fullarton, comments: “The location is ideal as it lies to the south of both the M8 Motorway, the major route from Edinburgh to Glasgow, and the M9 that runs up to Stirling and beyond.
All goods bound within Scotland will be delivered via the new Livingston hub, whilst nationwide and pan-European orders will also be fulfilled via a hub facility in Lichfield, West Midlands.
A key feature of the new location is that the hub will be complemented by Palletways’ unique palletised consignment stockholding solution, giving quick and easy access to customers’ stored goods on site in Livingston to the Palletways national and international networks.
Customers who use Palletways in Scotland include Simpson Strong-Tie, a major timber-to-timber and timber-to-masonry connector company that supplies builders merchants and DIY outlets, Mizuno Golf, manufacturer of high quality golf clubs, bags, clothing and accessories and Wallace Cameron, who supply first aid products and services to a number of retailers such as Boots, Marks & Spencer and Halfords.
