“Palletforce delivered another strong performance in 2025, showing healthy growth across all key metrics, including pallet volumes, membership, service and financial results.
“We are delighted to note that once again Palletforce saw the number of members in the network continue to expand during 2025, this time by more than 12%,” he said.
