Palletline Expands Nationwide Network

Aiming to provide the highest levels of service quality for all its markets, palletised distribution specialist Palletline Plc has announced the appointment of a new Member Company to cover the Stockport area, bringing additional resource and expertise to the established Palletline network.

Palletline is the only palletised distribution service in the UK owned in its entirety by the companies who operate the system. Selection of new Member Companies is an exacting process, identifying organisations achieving excellence in customer service and proven financial stability, together with operating structures complementing the existing Palletline network.

Newly appointed Member Company Global Logistics Ltd is a well established organisation, offering a full portfolio of distribution and warehousing solutions including full and part load, contract haulage, warehousing, pick and pack, reprocessing and container unloading. The company runs a modern fleet of vehicles and trailers and operates from purpose-built premises including 300,000ft2 of secure warehousing with computerised stock control systems, CCTV monitoring and on site security.

Establishing a close working relationship between the two companies has satisfied the commercial needs of both. Paul Welsh, Managing Director of Global Logistics, explains the rationale behind his company's drive to join the Palletline System. "We have traditionally subcontracted an element of the work we handle. Through Palletline, we can bring this in-house, giving us total control over quality procedures and customer service. In addition, Palletline offers us significant opportunities for growth and further development of our core product offering."

Glyn Jones, Managing Director of Palletline Plc, echoes the quality theme. "Global Logistics fields a dedicated team delivering the highest levels of customer service, with a quality focus matching that of Palletline. In addition, the company demonstrates the operational flexibility to meet customer needs, both locally and nationally."
