A forward-thinking Rugby logistics company has joined the pioneering UK and European palletised freight distribution network owned by a former star of Dragons’ Den.
Exact Logistics on the Dunchurch Trading Estate in London Road is now delivering its freight through Pall-Ex, which was founded and is still owned by Hilary Devey CBE, who spent two years on the popular BBC 2 programme Dragons’ Den.
Pall-Ex members operate under unique, joint ISO accreditations for quality and provide a wide range of pallet distribution services to blue chip, SME and public sector customers across a vast range of industries.
Customers of Exact Logistics, which was established in 2009, will have their pallets of freight processed for onward delivery through Pall-Ex’s flexible, purpose-built, £12 million hub operation in nearby Ellistown, Leicestershire, near J22 of the M1.
Adam Shuter, managing director of Exact Logistics, said they have joined the Pall-Ex network in order to improve the company’s communications, delivery and care to its customers.
He said: “The main asset of any business is its people and as soon as we met the Pall-Ex team, we felt they were people we wanted to work with.
“They share our passion for customer service and our commitment to quality and we have been impressed by their helpfulness and co-operation.
“We believe our business at Exact Logistics is about people – we care about our customers as people because we are an SME which puts our customers at the heart of everything we do.
“This decision will improve the range of services we can offer to our customers which is vital for our business to continue to grow.
“Membership of Pall-Ex will mean freight will be delivered more efficiently since it will be processed in a purpose-built hub. Freight is protected from adverse weather conditions since vehicles are loaded and unloaded under a canopy.
“Our customers are based in Rugby, Coventry, Leamington, Southam, Warwick and Stratford and trust us to deliver on their behalf throughout UK and Europe so our local expertise is being backed by Pall-Ex’s resources.
“Pall-Ex has demonstrated a strategic and financial commitment to the long-term benefit of the freight network, its haulier members and service-users.
“We are confident that the transition to Pall-Ex membership will be seamless because the company shares our values focused on communication, deliver and care.”
