Campeys of Selby makes pallet network debut with Palletforce

Campeys of Selby has made its pallet network debut by joining Palletforce, covering selected DN postcodes around Doncaster.

Founded in 1930 with one truck, Campeys now has a fleet of 55 vehicles and a staff of 70. Paul Campey, the company’s MD, is the grandson of founder Harry Campey.

Paul’s son, also called Harry, is transport manager, and he said the decision to join Palletforce was the next logical step in the further expansion of the company.

“We were looking at various networks that we thought would be able to provide the support we needed to expand and take our business to the next stage,” he said.
