Pall-Ex has celebrated the achievements of its network members at its own prestigious awards ceremony as it gears up for a successful 2020.
The logistics giant presented accolades to the SMEs and key players who have made an outstanding contribution to its pallet network over the last 12 months. The trophies were handed out at a glittering awards ceremony hosted by Vernon Kay at the East Midlands Conference Centre.
Pall-Ex became the only pallet network to be owned by its members and senior management team following a buy out in November 2019. The event also marked the organisation’s continued success as the number one pallet network for quality and market leaders in pallet visibility and damage reduction.
PMB Pallet Express Ltd of Ilkeston drove away with the coveted Member of the Year award, as voted for by the entire Pall-Ex network due to the haulier’s exceptional customer service and quality of delivery.
A.D.D. Express Ltd of Elland, Matthews Haulage of Hertford and Mars-Jones Limited of Denbigh all picked up awards for being the Highest KPI Performer in their respective categories due to exceeding their member targets.
The Tile Mountain Award for Delivery Excellence was awarded to Surrey Pallitz of Lingfield due to their commitment to delivering a quality service to one of Pall-Ex’s key corporate client. The Marsh Commercial Award for Excellence in Freight Management was given to A. Davies Transport of Wakefield.
Regional winners were also celebrated for their individual growth, compliance, quality distribution, communication and partnership with Pall-Ex. These include Neill & Brown Global Logistics Group of Hull, Exact Logistics of Rugby, Magnus Group of Ipswich and Aylesbury Logistics of Aylesbury.
Additional award winners include Shears Bros (Transport) Ltd, which picked up the Business Growth Award, North West Logistics, which was named New Member of the Year and Pall-Ex Italia, which was awarded European Network of the Year.
