A Davies Transport creates new jobs after joining Pallet-Track

Wakefield-based A Davies Transport is creating three new jobs as a result of becoming a shareholder member of Pallet-Track.

The family-run company, which was established by managing director Andy Davies with just one truck in 2007, now operates a fleet of 38 vehicles and 60 trailers, and employs a team of 55 staff.

It has a broad customer base across West Yorkshire, including companies in the food and drink, retail, construction and printing sectors.

Andy Davies, A Davies Transport MD (pictured), said: “We thought long and hard about our service proposition and finding the right pallet network to support our growth.

“As a robust, quality network, Pallet-Track is a great fit for our business and is aligned with our core values, while offering a number of features which will benefit our operation and our customers, particularly as we grow.

“This move will enable us to utilise the most up-to-date IT systems and technologies and provide our customers with the very best systems the industry has to offer, including pallet tracking, SMS alerts and mandatory proof of delivery photos.

“We have been in a pallet network for well over a decade now and it is a vital service offering for all our customers, having a strong partner network across the UK is essential for us.
