The products will then be distributed nationally via Palletways’ nationwide pallet delivery network.

Palletways Fulfilment provided the ideal fit for distributing our products, as we require a logistics firm that can provide fast and reliable service to ensure all of our products reach customers well within the strict use-by dates”.

“Palletways’ WEBSTOCK system allows us to monitor and manage our stock, tracking each inbound and outbound consignment individually, delivering additional quality control measures and greater visibility for us and our customers. Having our products stored at the Palletways hub in Lichfield is another major benefit, as it allows us to place orders late in the day for next day delivery”.
