It may have just launched Plus Logistics to take its services to a wider audience, but Palletline's pallet business appears to be in rude health itself.

On 17 April, fueled by Easter demand, Palletline set a new internal record, processing just shy of 16,000 pallets at its Birmingham central hub.

Last April's total in comparison - a record itself - was just under 13,500 pallets processed.

Kevin Buchanan, MD at Palletline, said: "The network is growing at 30% year on year, out stripping the sector average of around 20%.

"At the start of the recession we did see some pressure from cheap alternative solutions but as the economy has started to improve more and more customers are seeing the value of having fair sustainable long term partnerships with us due to the industry leading service levels we consistently deliver."
