New Member 'Masters' Cambridgeshire for Palletline

Palletline plc, the UK’s longest established pallet distribution network, has increased its membership to 60 leading hauliers with the addition of Cambridgeshire-based Masters Logistical Services to the network.

A partnership founded around seven years ago, Masters Logistical Services today operates 11 vehicles and employs 14 staff. It offers a full range of services from local courier deliveries to heavy haulage and warehousing from its base on Ely Road in Stretham, just north of Cambridge

From 2nd May the company will cover the CB and SG8 (Royston) postcode areas for Palletline. Initial pallet input levels to the network are expected to be around 250 each week.

The company has not been a member of a pallet distribution network before but sees joining Palletline as integral to its future growth and development, as partner Paul Upton explained.

“We looked at a couple of networks but were most impressed by Palletline’s operations and business ethos– it’s run for the benefit of its members rather than as a profit centre in its own right. We like the fact that we are buying a share in Palletline which shows both companies’ commitment to making the relationship work.

“We already have some major pallet clients and believe our membership of Palletline, and the cost-effective national coverage we are now able to offer, will enable us to grow this aspect of our business significantly.”

Glyn Jones, Managing Director of Palletline plc, added: “Masters Logistical Services is a company which has come a very long way in a short time and we’re delighted to welcome them to Palletline. They are clearly keen to grow with us and in turn we look forward to a long and successful partnership with them.”
