Palletline haulier Ningbo London has diversified into handling dangerous goods and joined the Hazchem Network.

As a result, the company said 10 of its drivers have obtained ADR accreditation and a further four will be trained in January. 

In addition, two office-based employees are fully ADR-trained and more than half of its fleet is ADR-ready, while a dedicated warehouse space has been created to handle the specialised goods.

Hen File, Ningbo London network director, said: “We are always looking at ways we can improve and extend the range of services we offer and joining the Hazchem Network was a natural next step. Their knowledgeable and helpful experts ensured the onboarding process was smooth and hassle-free.”

Hazchem MD Rob Symes added: “Ningbo London has a good reputation and brings another high-quality member into London. We are delighted to welcome them into the network and this will strengthen further our service in the area.”

The haulage firm currently holds an operator licence authorising 27 HGVs and 21 trailers running out of a base in Purfleet.
