Palletways expects to see record Christmas volumes

Palletways UK expects to transport a record number of pallets this Christmas. The company added that the goods it moves over the period will be “worth at least £340m to the British economy”.

In November, Palletways moved more than 500,000 pallets- and December started with a record week of 117,000 pallets handled.

Dave Walmsley, Palletways UK Managing Director, commented: “The logistical challenges which face our hubs and member depots at Christmas are incredible as pallet volumes go through the roof. The £340m of goods that we’ll move in November and December is testament to Palletways and our members using innovative technology, competitive pricing and customer service excellence to secure record volumes.”

Walmsley continued: “We expect to hit 850,000 pallets to shift hundreds of millions of pounds of festive winter goods where they need to be for our customers. Our hubs and member depots are running at full pelt day and night to a point where we process about 780 trailers every single day. Our members are running some 1,500 vehicles up and down the country daily.”
