A logistics specialist has expanded its London operation after investing a significant sum in a new site, and a new fleet, creating 20 new jobs. 

Pallet Power Limited, which is part of the Parcel Power Logistics Limited Group, has undergone major expansion to accommodate a new service offering – palletised distribution. 

The company has already experienced success in the parcels, general and refrigerated haulage sectors and now has ambitious plans to conquer pallet delivery, in the capital, as part of its new membership with Pallet-Track. 

To achieve this, the Parcel Power group has invested heavily in a new 40,000 sq. ft site in Beckton, East London. 

The site provides a prime location for pallet collection and delivery within Central and East London, which include the E1, E14, EC and WC postcodes, as well as links to major roads. 

The new jobs have been created across all areas of the business, including driving, warehouse, and office roles. 

It has also added 16 new vehicles to its fleet, including five double deck trailers and tractor units, seven rigid vehicles and four Luton vans. All are ULEZ compliant, equipped to Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and are dual branded with Pallet Power Limited and Pallet-Track visual identities to demonstrate the strength of the companies’ new partnership. 

Tzali April, Managing Director at Pallet Power Limited, said: “The Parcel Power group are well-established in both the refrigerated haulage and parcels sectors, so we are proud to be expanding our operation into palletised haulage. 

“The new site and fleet will give us the flexibility we want to meet all our customers’ needs in the capital as we continue to grow our business. 

“We had a choice of pallet networks and specifically chose Pallet-Track because of its ongoing growth, service performance, and investment in technology. 

“It stood out to us as the national network and while we were previously able to offer our customers visibility and tracking on their freight, the innovative technology we have access to is enabling us to enhance the customer experience. 

“As a business, we’re anticipating strong growth over the next 12 months and look forward to building our reputation in the pallet sector.” 

Stuart Godman, CEO at Pallet-Track, said: “We are delighted to welcome Pallet Power Limited to the Pallet-Track family, and we are excited be able to support the team on their growth journey. 

“The company’s values align very closely with those of our shareholder member network, and we are confident that they will deliver service excellence while collaborating with us to increase our presence in the capital. This is a fantastic partnership.”
