ELB Partners has been credited with aiding the growth of a leading cable supplier, thanks to its reliable logistics links.
Kent-based Batt Cables said the haulier had met its every need, provided enhanced scanning and tracking capabilities and even invested in newer, cleaner vehicles – all while the Covid-19 pandemic raged across the UK.
As a result, it said it continued supplying electricians and other keyworkers with their cabling needs, including fibre optic and data carrying wires and accessories, and kept the UK connected during lockdown.
ELB Partners now distributes 150 pallets daily on behalf of the cable specialist thanks to its membership of the Pallet-Track network.

Gary Heuerman, transport manager at Batt Cables, said: “In March 2020, our competitors all went into lockdown while we remained fully operational, which resulted in a big increase in demand for our cables.
“Customers who came to us during that time have stayed with Batt Cables, upping our distribution from two trailers to three trailers per day.
“Having a reliable logistics solution has been key to our growth during this time as we have needed increased flexibility to meet the requirements of our UK-wide customers and the sharp growth in sales we have experienced.”
ELB MD Peter Eason, said it had supported Batt Cables for 18 years and he added: “As their logistics partner, we are pleased to see the business go from strength to strength during such a challenging time and to be able to offer the flexibility they need to achieve this.”
