The Network

Here at Glendale Transport UK Ltd, we are a founding member of the Palletways overnight palletized freight distribution network.

This is not without good reason - Palletways is the UK market leader in the overnight distribution of small consignments of palletized freight.

Centred on a 350,000 sq ft hub operation in Lichfield, Staffordshire, our partner Palletways is the largest network of its kind in Europe. Together with its hub operation in Edinburgh (which provides a dedicated service in Scotland), Palletways has the capacity to handle an astonishing 32,000 pallets a day.

The network consists of more than 90 highly professional logistics partners who combine each others resources to meet the growing demands from customers to deliver smaller volumes of goods more frequently, more quickly and more cost-effectively than ever before.

Background

Established in 1994, Palletways provides a range of express palletised freight services to manufacturers, retailers and other logistics providers across the United Kingdom.

In 2003, Palletways appeared in Europe’s top 500 - a listing endorsed by 3i, Boston Consulting Group, Microsoft and PricewaterhouseCoopers. The list identifies the most successful job creating entrepreneurial companies across 18 European countries.

Even more impressively, Palletways was recently confirmed as the market leader in overnight palletized freight distribution by the largest survey to be carried out in the pallet network sector – providing just one more reason why Glendale Transport UK Ltd believes them to be the preeminent company to associate with.
