Palletways says it will start trunking from the UK into its Spanish and Italian networks in the first quarter of next year. The firm says this is its next big step as it aims to consolidate its position as the leading UK and European pallet network. Currently it sends between 100 and 150 pallets per day from its Fradley, Staffs hub to its Central European network based in Nijmegen, Holland.
It hopes to be able to send similar volumes into its hubs in Madrid and Bologna when the service
launches next year. If there is sufficient demand, it may also launch line-hauls between Bologna, Madrid and Nijmegen. Managing director, member network Craig Hibbert says: "A pallet could be going from Manchester to Madrid, Milan or Munich, it doesn't matter, we can get it there."
