Palletways Bristol spices up customer mix with new freight deal

Palletways Bristol has been chosen as spice manufacturer Bart Ingredients' freight partner of choice following a competitive tender.

The haulier will ensure the company’s products reach distribution centres across the UK on Thyme as it handles around 5,000 pallets a year as part of the contract deal.

Bart Ingredients said home cooking surged during the pandemic and its product sales almost doubled and it needed a freight firm that would help it meet and exceed its delivery promises.

“And as members of the Palletways network, Palletways Bristol offers us further opportunities for growth through these IT innovations and wide geographical coverage in the UK and Europe.”

Matt Carter, Palletways sales manager, said: “Being associated with such a prestigious, locally based brand complements our vision to be the carrier of choice in the south-west of England.”
