Hi-Speed Services has joined Palletforce and will take over the GU postcodes around Guildford, Aldershot and Farnham.

Formed in 1986 with just one vehicle, Hi-Speed now operates 75 artics, rigids and courier vans, specialising in B2B and B2C palletised freight and parcel services.

CEO Ian Dawkins said: “The opportunity to join Palletforce was one we couldn’t turn down, and it provides us with the prospect to grow our palletised freight services across GU postcodes, supported by the strength and quality of their award-winning network.

“We are pleased to be trusted with operations in the area and to further develop our partnership with Palletforce and the entire membership.”

Chris Dennigan, Palletforce member relations director, added: “Hi-Speed is a great match for us as our businesses have a shared service ethos and put customers at the heart of everything we do.

“These values will prove a winning team and deliver long-term success for our partnership.”

Last week the network announced Currie Solutions had also joined Palletforce and was covering EH postcodes in the west of Edinburgh.
