Pall-Ex has announced a further expansion to its membership network with the addition of haulier Arch Express Ltd to cover Peterborough and the surrounding region. Established for over ten years, Arch Express now operates a fleet of 75 vehicles.
The company has recently opened a new 60,000 sq ft premises located at Warboys, Cambridgeshire, in a major expansion from its headquarters in Coventry and its Irish depot in Dublin. Arch Express specialises in providing a 'Through the Night' delivery service for clients in the UK and Europe, particularly in the agricultural and automotive sectors.
Simon Longhurst, joint Managing Director of Arch Express said: "We made the decision to join a pallet network in order to provide our customers with the most effective distribution service possible. Pall-Ex was the obvious choice because of its excellent operational and information management processes. Pall-Ex also showed the highest commitment to IT development, which ties in with our own pioneering IT system for our 'Through the Night' service. This partnership will be a major part of our UK distribution portfolio."
Hilary Devey, Managing Director at Pall-Ex commented: "Arch Express Ltd has the exact quality of service and established reputation we were looking for to cover the Peterborough region. I have no doubt that they will be an extremely valuable addition to our growing network."
