09/06/05 Pall-ex partners with Nightspeed

Pall-Ex (UK) Ltd, the pallet distribution network, has launched a unique business partnership with Nightspeed Secure Worldwide Express. The alliance sees the creation of a unique, "one stop shop" parcels, mail and pallet distribution service.

"This new service is already online and provides Pall-Ex with a significant opportunity to further expand the range of services we offer to our customers and member hauliers," said Mrs Hilary Devey, Managing Director of Pall-Ex.

Ian Pickford, Managing Director of Nightspeed Secure Worldwide Express adds: "Nightspeed specialises in moving parcels, not pallets. Whilst our trunking operation relies heavily on pallets to aid parcel handling, our 'sprinter' type collection and delivery vehicles are not designed for this operation. Pall-Ex is the sector leading expert in palletised freight logistics. Working in partnership Pall-Ex and Nightspeed can offer the best parcel and pallet distribution solutions in the sector."

"Our own customer survey revealed that a staggering 38 per cent of our customers require a regular pallet service and with this in mind, it made good business sense to enter into a partnership with the country's leading pallet network," he concludes.
