TST Group searches for new staff in Northern Ireland

It wants to employ 15 more members of staff to support its growth, including 10 HGV drivers, two forklift drivers and three administrative employees.

TST Group has been a shareholder member of Pallet-Track since 2017 via its Birmingham operation and specialises in the distribution and storage of food and FMCG products, with a focus on the beverage sector.

The company said the addition of Northern Ireland postcodes to its portfolio is expected to increase its pallet handling from 500 to 800 per day.

The expansion of its services also means TST is adding 40 new trailers and 20 new lorries to its fleet.

Liam Reid, CEO at TST Group, said: “Our pallet distribution service is experiencing significant growth as we are now seeing customers moving single pallets from Northern Ireland to the UK nightly rather than waiting to collate full loads, so on the back of this it is expanding our Pallet-Track membership and we are recruiting across various areas of the business to support this growth.

“While our fleet is extensive and equipped with the latest technology and innovations, we continue to expand the range of vehicles we operate in both Ballymena and Birmingham.

“This modernisation ensures that we can handle a wide range of logistics challenges efficiently and reliably for our growing client base.”

Stuart Godman, CEO at Pallet-Track, said: “TST Group is an excellent partner to continue to drive Pallet-Track’s service forward in Northern Ireland and we are incredibly pleased to be working together even closer.

“The company’s impressive track record, and its commitment to service excellence, underpins the Pallet-Track way which will continue to support both our ongoing growth, and success, in Northern Ireland.”

TST Group has grown to encompass TST Transport, TST Logistics, TST Express and TST Customs, employing nearly 400 staff, operating more than 200 lorries and managing close to 500 trailers.
