International Logistics Centre has joined Palletways

UK packing and haulage operator International Logistics Centre has joined Palletways, Europe's express palletised freight network.

The family-run business, which was founded in 1988, specialises in transportation, shipping, export packing, warehousing and storage. Over the past 30 years, it has provided a range of services across the globe - working in Russia, the Arctic, Antarctica and the Middle and Far East - and the business has won national awards, recognising them for their movement of large-gauge freight into the remotest areas of the Congo Jungle.

International Logistics Centre's Palletways services, which will be offered from its depot in Newark, will also be international. From this depot, the company boasts a 50 plus-strong team and a significant truck fleet.

Commenting on the decision to join the network, Andrew Morris, managing director at International Logistics Centre, says: "While the business has been running for over 30 years, we think Palletways is a perfect fit for our new venture, especially after considering its mature domestic and pan-European networks, use of innovative technology and commitment to excellent customer service."

Barry Byers, Palletways' network development director, says the appointment highlights the importance placed on recruiting the most experienced transport firms in the logistics industry. "International Logistics Centre is a great asset to the network and we're looking forward to drawing on their experience to grow our presence in and around the Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire areas."
