A haulage business founded in Yorkshire has invested in new vehicles to keep up with growing demand for its services.

Bradford-based Freighteam has seen its business ‘transformed’ since it became one of the first shareholder members of Pallet-Track 21 years ago.

Its workload transporting pallets and containers has continued to grow and means the family-run business is now busier than ever, transporting goods across the UK and Ireland from its depots in Bradford, Dublin, Birmingham, and London.

To keep up with demand, Freighteam – which is headed up by husband-and-wife team Richard and Mandy Varley – has just added two double deck trailers to its fleet, and two seven-and-a-half tonne vehicles. It has also installed a canopy above its two warehouses in West Yorkshire to make loading and unloading easier.

Right vehicle for the job

Freighteam director Richard, who oversees a team of 26 staff, said: “Investing in these extra vehicles means we can move more pallets, and as access to both commercial and residential areas are getting tighter, it will be easier for us to transport anything to anywhere. Whether it’s trunking, collections, delivery, or home delivery, we’ll have the right vehicle for the job.

“Joining Pallet-Track transformed our business and turned it completely upside down. We started out moving 20 pallets a night and now we are pushing 500.

“Business is moving at a faster pace now and it is important we keep up. We’re excited to see where the next 20 years take us.”

Impressive service

Pallet-Track’s CEO Stuart Godman congratulated Freighteam on its investments in new vehicles and expanding the business.

He said: “It is fantastic to see Freighteam adding to its fleet which will enable it to offer its impressive services to even more customers.

“It is a highly valued founder shareholder member of Pallet-Track, who we have worked with since day one of creating our wonderful network. We love having Freighteam as part of the team and we look forward to seeing the business continue to prosper. Huge congratulations.”
