New London Base Supports Quality at Palletline

The announcement this week of the decision by Palletline Plc to lease an 80,000ft site in Greenford, Middlesex further underlines the company’s sustained commitment to a nationwide continuous quality improvement programme.

The Greenford site will house Palletline’s first wholly-owned commercial depot serving the London area, and provide a new location with excellent road links for Palletline’s Southern Hub, channelling Palletline traffic into and out of London and the South East.

The move is an integral part of Palletline’s current drive to enhance service quality and consistency across the network, overcoming issues facing collections and deliveries within London and the surrounding areas.

Establishment of a Palletline depot and hub at Greenford allows the company to use the existing Palletline network to consolidate freight for the London area - an efficient, environmental and cost effective solution.

Substantial benefits for Palletline customers and Palletline Member Companies in the South East include reduced congestion issues, improved timings facilitating later collections, reduced trunking miles and, most importantly, high levels of service quality and consistency, under the total control of Palletline Plc.

At Greenford, Palletline is establishing its first ever wholly owned commercial depot, operating under the management of Palletline London Ltd, a subsidiary of Palletline Plc. This convenient and accessible location close to all major capital motorway routes brings easy, quick and reliable access to London postcodes for all Palletline customers.

Commenting on behalf of Palletline Plc, Managing Director Glyn Jones explains the reasoning behind the new venture. “Our objective is to provide the highest levels of service quality nationwide. Recognition of the individual issues posed by collections and deliveries in London has prompted us to structure a tailored solution for the South East, designed to deliver our continuous quality improvement programme for customers and Palletline Member Companies alike.”
