Bretts Transport has joined Pall-Ex as a shareholder member as it seeks out further opportunities for growth.
The Guyhirn headquartered haulier will primarily handle parts of the Peterborough and Cambridge postcodes.
The fifth-generation family business, which specialises in distribution and warehousing for the food, food packaging and ambient grocery sectors, said the pallet network’s shareholder ownership structure was a decisive factor in its decision to sign up.
Wayne Minney, operations director at Bretts Transport, said: “We’ve been keen to take the next step in our pallet network operations for some time, but it was important that we found the right fit for the business.
“Pall-Ex shares many of our values, particularly when it comes to quality and customer service, and the opportunity to become a shareholder was a major factor in our decision.
“The benefit of that model is that everyone has a vested interest in the network’s success. We’re all working towards the same goals and committed to maintaining high standards, regardless of which depot is handling a delivery.
“Being part of Pall-Ex gives us access to a much wider range of services and the ability to offer customers greater flexibility when it comes to their distribution requirements,” he added.
“It also means fewer handling points for certain deliveries, helping to reduce the risk of damage to customers’ goods while providing a more efficient and cost-effective service.”
Michelle Naylor, MD – UK Network at Pall-Ex Group, added: “We’re delighted to welcome the Bretts Transport team to the Pall-Ex Group network, at such a pivotal time in our company’s growth.
“As a fifth-generation family business, Bretts comes with a rare level of expertise, built on generations of hard-won trust and resilience.”
