Fortec welcomes six new members to its pallet network

Fortec has welcomed six new members to its network, five of which have joined the pallet distribution sector for the first time.

Pharmadex Logistics in Hatfield; Surrey Pallets in Wimbledon; Threshers in Bristol; Masterfreight in Oldbury; Cammack in Colchester; and Nova in Birmingham have joined taking total network membership to 72.

Pharmadex was the only previous member of a pallet network, having moved from The Pallet Network.

Neil Hodgson, MD at Fortec, said: “These six new member partners add considerable quality and experience to the Fortec family of member partners.

“It is particularly significant that five of them have never been part of a pallet distribution network in the past but decided to join Fortec having looked at the other pallet networks.”

Marcus Fischer, Fortec’s commercial director (pictured), added that the network had experienced a very strong first six months to the year with “record volumes and turnover”.  Fortec is currently on its most signifcant IT project in a decade,  central to which is the rollout of  Fortec Connect, an Android app installed on Samsung Xcover2 hansets.
