Newcomers into pallet distribution should think about niche markets, says Palletline managing director Glyn Jones. "I do not believe there is any demand or need for another general pallet network," he says, warning new operators to only launch when they have a full network in place.
Jones' comments come as Palletline launches Palletline Online - a web-based service for online retailers and occasional users similar to a planned offering by rival Fortec.
Anybody - including a small
online business or a member of the public with a one-off collection or delivery from home - can book and pay online. Kevin Buchanan, Palletline's commercial director, says the network expects the service to generate an additional 1,000 pallets per week.
