Storage and distribution specialist FreightForce Distribution has become a shareholder member of both the Pall-Ex and Fortec palletised freight distribution networks as it undergoes major expansion and diversification.
The move is part of a growth drive for FreightForce following a £2.5 million investment in a new warehouse in Great Yarmouth.
The facility will enable the firm to handle and store an additional 5,000 pallets, taking its overall capacity to over 9,000 pallets per day.
“We have ambitious plans to grow the business and further develop our services, particularly our palletised freight offering. In order to achieve this, we recognise that FreightForce needs the right partnerships in place with the right service comes first ethos,” commented Martin Halliday, Commercial Director at FreightForce, on the news. “It is important to us that our service levels are not negatively impacted by this growth; the customer is king to us, and we are committed to ensuring all deliveries are made on time and to our high standards.
Barry Byers, Pall-Ex Managing Director – UK Group, added:
“Partnering with quality hauliers is a priority for our networks and this is great news for Pall-Ex and Fortec customers as it will improve coverage in the region to ensure maximum efficiency, with an equal focus on delivering service excellence.”
