Dublin-based Toga Freight Group has joined Pallet-Track in order to expand its next-day delivery service into Great Britain.
The company moves large volumes of palletised groupage shipments between Britain and Ireland every week via its hub in Hams Hall, near Birmingham.
It also operates multiple weekly departures to Ireland and mainland Europe from depots in Kent and Warrington and while it offers blanket next-day delivery across Ireland, it did not have that power in Great Britain.
The haulier said Pallet-Track was the “perfect solution” for this requirement.
Toga Group chief executive Robert Dickinson said: “Since our major expansion into Great Britain started in 2023, we have managed to control our volumes using our own resources in the main.
“However, we needed to shorten the transit times to Ireland to a next-day service from most, if not all of Great Britain, rather than just from around our own depots, so we needed to join a network to enable that.
“We met with a few of the main UK pallet networks, but when we looked closely at what we wanted to achieve – better service, sustainability and reliability – Pallet Track came out head and shoulders above the rest.”
Stuart Godman, CEO at Pallet-Track, added: “It was clear from the moment we started talking to Toga Freight, the collective power and success of our network appealed hugely to them and likewise their offer to our shareholder member network.”
