Kings Lynn-based Ge-Be Transport has joined the Palletways network, taking over the Norfolk area previously covered by failed firm Heathcliff Haulage.
Ge-Be Transport, which runs more than 40 vehicles and was previously a member of Palletforce, began work with Palletways in July and will handle approximately 2,000 pallets a week for the network.
It takes over from Jack Richards & Son, Rase Distribution and Cross Country Carriers, which jointly began serving the area after Cambridge operator Heathcliff Haulage went into administration last year (MT 10 February 2014).
The decision to join Palletways was attributed to its reputation and pan-European coverage, he added. “We joined Palletways because of its mature domestic and pan-European networks, which will add value to our service offering in East Anglia,” said Green.
