Domestic and international hauliers Currie Solutions has joined Palletforce, boosting the network’s capacity in the Edinburgh area.
Currie Solutions, which has its headquarters in Dumfries, Scotland and offices across the UK and Europe, operates a fleet of 160 vehicles and employees over 400 staff.
As the newest Palletforce member, its Livingston depot will manage selected EH postcodes in the west of Edinburgh.
Announcing the move, Palletforce said Currie Solutions has nearly 50 years of logistics experience in Scotland, and brings “unrivalled local market knowledge and regional expertise – guaranteeing sector-leading customer service levels.”
Alex Robertson, Currie Solutions Livingston branch manager, said the company is already reaping the benefits of joining Palletforce.
He explained: “Joining Palletforce ensures we have access to one of the UK’s top pallet networks and I’m confident we can bring value for members as the EH area we are managing is one where we have a great depth of experience and customer knowledge.
“We are already handling more freight than expected and the Palletforce Alliance IT system is working well for us.
“This takes the pressure off the office staff and ensures drivers have the info they require to be efficient and provide a high level of customer service.
“Collaboration across the network is impressive, with members genuinely working well together to help each other out. Based on that, we are really excited and looking forward to building a strong future as a Palletforce member.
Chris Dennigan, Palletforce network development director, added: “We are delighted to welcome Currie Solutions to Palletforce as we further increase our capacity and coverage in Scotland with the addition of yet another new member.
“Currie Solutions is a much-respected business, known for both its UK and European operations, and that creates strategic opportunities for Palletforce to enhance its European services even further.”
