Network TPN says trading over the past three months has been robust, with volumes returning to levels seen a year earlier; it describes the market as showing a "tangible if fragile confidence".
MD Adam Leonard says nightly volumes of 6,500 pallets are a result of the "creditable performance of the membership over the last eight to nine months".
TPN still plans to move into a new, larger hub early next year when the
lease on its present Rugby site expires. Two or three buildings have already been identified, although a firm location is yet to be decided on.
"We have to balance our staffing needs with making sure it's right for our members," says Leonard. The present site has 224,000ft² of space and the network is looking for about 300,000ft².
