S&S Distribution creates 2,000 pallet spaces to help tackle warehousing shortage

Transport and logistics provider S&S Distribution has freed up around 2,000 pallet spaces in response to rising demand for storage space as supply chain disruptions continue.

The company, which is based in Tonbridge in Kent, is part of Palletline Logistics. It operates a 50,000sq ft fully racked warehousing space, split between two separate warehouses with CCTV and 24/7 security and remote monitoring.

S&S Distribution said the move to free up 2,000 pallet spaces comes in response to ongoing demand for scarce warehousing space in the UK.

Romas Kusneraitis, S&S Distribution director, said: “We are delighted to have been able to free up this extra space for our clients so they can take full advantage of S&S Distribution’s facilities.

“The added space within our secure units can be used to store general haulage as well ambient food, organic and hazardous goods for which we have licenses in place. We are also able to accommodate both EU and US standard pallet sizes.”

S&S Distribution employs 90 staff, including 50 drivers, and operates 47 vehicles and 43 trailers. It boasts a FORS Bronze standard accreditation, and counts Amazon, XPO, Freightroute and Hazchem among its 200 customers.

The company offers tailormade packages and offers services which range from receiving container loads of stock for palletisation and storage to onward delivery either via the Palletline or Hazchem networks or on a dedicated vehicle.

Kusneraitis added: “The creation of these warehouse spaces demonstrates how we consistently aim to support our customers and meet industry demand.

“As a business we aim to become an extension of our customers’ businesses providing the highest levels of customer service you would expect your own team to deliver.”
