EV Cargo’s Palletforce has continued its commitment to offer the highest quality service in every UK postcode with the ongoing recruitment of some of the UK’s most respected and established freight transport operators.
Lloyds Transport, one of the most highly valued logistics firms in the Midlands, has become the fourth high-profile new member in four months to join the Palletforce network. The company selected Palletforce to make its return to network operations, meet customer demand and help deliver its growth strategy.
Based in Tamworth, Lloyds Transport is a family-run road transport and warehousing specialist that works with some of the world’s largest brands and manufacturers.
With an 80-strong fleet and a staff of over 130, Lloyds has recently opened a second depot in Halesowen and the move to Palletforce is part of a further growth strategy as it seeks to expand its customer base in one of the busiest and most competitive areas of the country.
The company is returning to pallet network operations after 15 years and says Palletforce’s sector-leading innovations in technology, coupled with the quality of its existing membership, were crucial factors in its decision.
Managing Director Martin Lloyd said: “Our customers have been increasingly asking us if we are able to transport single pallet loads, and by partnering with Palletforce we can now provide them with a service which is reliable, offers unbeatable freight visibility and is flexible enough to meet their requirements.
“Palletforce has been at the cutting edge of the industry for many years now, and we are delighted to be part of the network.”
Lloyds Transport will cover DY postcodes including Tipton, Kidderminster and Stourbridge, and serve to further strengthen Palletforce’s operations and customer service in the Midlands.
Palletforce Network Development Director David Breeze said: “Our focus this year has been on recruiting quality members with an unrivalled depth of local expertise to ensure we, collectively as a network, deliver sector-leading service excellence. Lloyds Transport is a hugely respected operator with a first-class reputation for service.
“We are delighted they have chosen Palletforce to restart their network operations, and with more than 30 years’ experience they will prove a valuable addition to our operations in the Midlands.”
