Multimodal specialist Jeavons Eurotir has joined The Pallet Network (TPN).
The Birmingham-based family firm made the move after inputting client pallets to TPN for the past year via TPN Dagenham.
The Pallet Network, which is headquartered in Prologis Park Midpoint, Sutton Coldfield, has two regional hubs, one near Preston and the other in Northampton, plus 130 depots and 119 members to date.
Jeavons Eurotir which specialises in international movements as well as national haulage, said TPN membership offers a “strong complement” to its other services.
MD Shane Jeavons added: “Our specialisms are in UK and European services, customs warehousing, customs clearance and worldwide importing and exporting. With all of the services we offer we need a good reliable pallet network service to cater for our customers’ needs.
“Having tried TPN ourselves, for a long time, it made sense to take the opportunity to join when a suitable postcode area came up.”

Jeavons Eurotir, which has AEO status for its 120,000sq ft customs warehouse in Birmingham, operates a fleet of 30 vehicles, ranging from full weight artics to 7.5 tonne vans. All its drivers are ADR trained and the firm has two on-site Dangerous Goods Safety Advisers.
Shane Jeavons runs the firm alongside his father Darren Jeavons, who is the chief executive. The firm was founded by Darren's father.
“TPN is extremely reliable, and we were impressed with the network overall. We’ve visited the Hub several times now and it’s an excellent operation,” Shane Jeavons added.
TPN MD Mark Kendall “We’re delighted to welcome Jeavons on board. The past 12 months have been exceptionally challenging for everyone in logistics, so for a partner to base its decision on our performance during those months is a great testament to TPN’s service resilience.
“We have no doubt that Jeavons will be an asset to the network, and we in turn aim to foster their further success, as we do with all our partners.”
Pointing to TPN’s onboarding service for new partners, which includes training, systems installation and on-the-ground support in the weeks running up to the partner operation going live, Kendall said: “We believe in setting our partners up for success by ensuring they have all the training, help, support and systems they need.”
